To create mental calmness inside the classroom, I have requested yoga mats to help with making a difference in my students. My students are from troubled areas and are students who need help to listen to their mind and bodies. Though my students will not be able to use the mats at home, the feeling and awareness they have while using the mat in class can travel with them.
My goal is to use the mats for the students to enlighten them on the benefits of listening to their mind and body.
Yoga has many different benefits. Using yoga for brain breaks in the classroom could boost memory and improve concentration. Students at our school will benefit from the teaching of yoga. These students may require breaks but they are very hard workers and deserve a second chance at learning.
