Benefits of School Yoga Programs:

  • Focus and Academic Performance: Enhances concentration, comprehension, and memory, contributing to better academic results.

  • Positive Classroom Climate: Fosters a calm, harmonious environment, encouraging community and connectedness.

  • Behavioural Improvements: Reduces problem behaviours, enhancing patience and reflection.

 Here are some of the studies detailing the benefits of running yoga regularly in schools:

FOCUS, ATTENTION & ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

POSITIVE CLIMATE AND RELATIONSHIP BUILDING

BEHAVIOR

Provides opportunities for reflection, patience and insight, thereby reducing problem behaviors such as suspensions, bullying, unexcused absences, detentions, impulsivity, hostility, and reactivity (Bakosh et al., 2015Centeio et al., 2017Fishbein et al., 2016Franco et al., 2016Frank et al, 2014Frank et al., 2016Parker et al., 2014Salmoirago-Blotcher et al., 2018).

The club can be funded within school’s budgets or a small amount can be charged to parents to cover the costs of the club. The programme is available for a one off payment of £250 which includes the video training and email support for the Inner Child Yoga School with a license for one school. If you choose to invest in planning for future terms (I advise purchasing three terms to enable club to run all year without repeating) these will be available for a further £100 a term. If you wish to buy multiple licenses for a number of schools in one go discounts are available.
