Incorporating yoga into a daily or weekly routine has been shown to reduce stress, aid in focus, and improve mental clarity. After experiencing such a stressful school year with the pandemic and distance learning, I believe teaching students yoga will lead to improved learning outcomes. My intent with this project is to create a calm, stress-free environment for students to interact with their peers as well as learn the benefits of yoga. Having yoga mats in the classroom can also be used for social distancing during restorative circles as well as give students alternative seating options during independent reading. I believe that real learning begins by creating a safe, stress-free space for students.
