Yoga in Schools How Yoga Can Helps Students In
Making Physically And Mentally Strong?
Students may have youth, but that does not mean
they are free from the stresses and of life. So,
this time we goanna talk about the benefits of
yoga for students. Sitting at a desk for long
hours a day, going back home and sitting again on
books to finish the daily homework, studying and
participating numerous tests. All of these cause
the body and mind to tense up time to time.
Beside these, there are social and family
related challenges, anxiety and emotional issues
on children.Yoga, as a formula that works on
almost every modern issue such as obesity,
depression, diabetes and panic attacks, is not a
solution only for grown-ups but also for young
children. It can help them live a better
lifestyle. Let's check some of the benefits of
yoga for children in school

the mental chatting and live in the moment
reduces stress and anxiety, showing amazing
benefits in every part of life. Students are very
stressed, keen to outperform themselves and prove
their worth every chance they get.Yoga helps
them to deal with their stress and bring back
their peace of mind. Students who regularly
practice yoga not only report lower levels of
stress and subsequently improved academic
performance.
Improves Memory And Attention Yoga helps to
improve the memory capacity in children, a direct
benefit of which create better academic
performance. It also helps to improve childrens
attention and focus. In fact, yoga helps children
who are suffering from ADHD (Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder) by reducing its symptoms
such as inattentiveness, hyperactivity and
impulsivity.Many children suffering from ADHD
are able to reduce their heavy medication with
regular yoga practice. This is the most
amazing benefits of yoga for students

Helps To Manage WeightChildren spend long hours
in sitting poses and tend to consume a lot of
junk food as well, both of which are a by-product
of the modern lifestyle. Yoga helps to
counterbalance this lifestyle.Through regular
practice of asanas, children can manage a healthy
weight. This helps to ease the problem of
childhood obesity at a young age.
Improves Flexibility and PostureSitting down to
study for long hours and too much screen time can
lead to incorrect posture. This poor posture in
childhood can develop into major anatomy
complication in adult life.The practice of
various asanas on a regular basis leads to
correction of posture, enhances flexibility and
improves their balances as it brings balance to
the whole body.

• Teaches Healthy BreathingBreathing is
  fundamental for life and how we breathe is
  directly related to our overall wellness. Good
  breathing affects our movement and our ability to
  cope with stress in a very positive way.Through
  pranayama, students can learn at a young age how
  to master the technique of breathing correctly
  and improve the quality of their life.Promotes
  MindfulnessMindfulness is simply learning to be
  in the present. Focusing on your breath or
  directing your attention to the sounds you can
  perceive is mindfulness. Everyone can do this at
  any time of the day even for a few
  seconds.Mindfulness enables people to become
  less anxious but more relaxed. Children can
  become more mindful using creative and
  entertaining visualisation techniques.Encourages
  Self-LoveYoga promotes healing from the inside
  rather than looking good on the outside and
  teaches people how to respect and love their own
  bodies. This is very important message for
  children who are constantly advertised with
  "idealistic" body images on social
  media.Self-love which comes with yoga promotes
  self-care and can teach these values at a very
  young age. The children learn to be comfortable
  in their own skin and nurture it well.

Helps To Bring Peace Of MindThe vastness of
academic curriculum alone can baffle students and
yet, they deal with many other extra-curricular
activities and social life as well. By practising
pranayama and mindfulness, students really learn
how to handle the anxiety and manage the
different aspects of life effectively.The peace
of mind stimulates the release of good hormones
that have a snowball effect and uplifts the mood
of the child in general.
Improves Self-ControlThrough controlled
breathing and controlled movement, yoga teaches
students self-control. As a result, they do not
react impulsively or make hasty and wrong
decisions even in an emotional state.With
self-mastery, a person can keep his or her anger
in control and make rational decisions when
required. If a young yogi can learn self-control
at a young age, indeed, no door can ever be
closed for him or her.

Reduces Absences And Violence In SchoolBecause
of good health and balanced temperament, children
are less likely to remain absent from school or
pick fights with each other about small issues.
Instead, they tend to engage more positively in
school and develop healthy relationships with
their teachers and friends.Enhances Coping
SkillsAs mentioned before, children are burdened
with a lot of stress. Yoga teaches children how
to correctly cope with the stress, manage it, and
stay productive. This is because the children
learn how to breathe deeply and be more
mindful. Boosts Immunity And Improves Physical
AppearanceAlongside its other health benefits,
yoga also boosts immunity and prevents attacks
from different viruses and bacteria by increasing
the levels of antibodies. Yoga promotes blood
circulation which can work wonders for the skin,
hair and nails. A healthy body feels and looks
happy.
7
Improves The Quality Of SleepChildren should
sleep for up to 7-8 hours each night. A good
nights sleep allows the body to be healthy,
ready, and energetic for the next day. As yoga
allows the body and the mind to relax,
practitioners notice a better quality in their
sleep. With better sleep, children can focus
better in class, play more actively, and perform
better at examinations.Increases
Self-ConfidenceYoga is an old art but is
relevant in present times more than everything.
When it comes to benefits of yoga, these are just
the tips of the iceberg. It has multiple fine
rewards which can help you live a healthy and
long life. Gift your child the abundance of yoga
and watch as the benefits slowly unfold!
