In children, yoga helps develop discipline, aids in the performance of other sports activities, heightens body awareness and self control, helps children gain strength and flexibility, increases the ability to concentrate and focus, helps kids feel empowered, and helps them stay calm (even kids with ADD or ADHD). All told, this translates into healthier minds and bodies, not to mention better performance at school!
Here are the top 3 benefits of yoga for students:
- Increases their focus and concentration
- Helps them stay calm while sitting at their desks
