We provide Yoga in Schools for both primary and secondary schools. Yoga develops strength, flexibility, concentration, relaxation, self discipline, fitness levels, self esteem, social skills, creativity and healthier bodies. When students learn techniques for self-health, relaxation, and inner fulfillment, they can get through life’s challenges with a little more ease. Yoga encourages self-esteem and body awareness that is non-competitive.

Structure of our yoga classes are as follows:         
  • Centering & Breathing Breathing exercises is used at the beginning of the session to bring calm and inner tranquility. It restores energy when tired and helps students deal with uncomfortable emotions.                                                                                               
  • Posture or Asana Techniques The postures are designed to cover the whole body. These movements tone muscle, benefit nerve & organs groups, endocrine glands and activate brain cells.
  • Relaxation Simple guided relaxation lying down to revive both body and mind with some soft music and visualization so that all the benefits of the session can be registered in their bodies. Students can reconnect with themselves and learn to release tension and stress.
