Studies have shown that when your body is active and engaged, your brain is active and engaged. Students would choose to sit on a yoga ball over a standard basic desk chair. When students are sitting on a yoga ball there is improvement in their ability to pay attention, concentrate, take notes, engage in classroom discussions, and take assessments. Not only does the yoga ball improve attention concentration, but also physical development.
My students, who have been diagnosed with an array of learning disabilities including ADHD, will use the yoga balls to redirect some of their extra energies into small bounces and movements on the ball which will help them direct the rest of their attention into focus on their schoolwork.
