With
childhood obesity increasing and
with the Department of Education
identifying the need to increase
physical exercise in schools, yoga
is fast becoming an ideal opportunity
for children to experience the benefits
of yoga.
After
attending school based yoga classes
children become more in tuned with
their bodies, learn to focus and
concentrate and understand the meaning
of “learning to relax.”
Both
Primary and Secondary students reap
the rewards of yoga, some schools
that have benefited from yoga have
included;
- Mount
St Josephs – Milperra
- Georges
River Senior High School
- Tower
Street Public School – Panania
- Peakhurst
South Public School
