Yoga in Schools 

Yoga classes can be arranged on site for students and also for teachers and/or parents.

There are physical, mental and emotional benefits of yoga for children and teenagers. Classes are available to suit students in Pre-Schools, Primary, High Schools and Special Schools. Classes for High School and Primary students include traditional postures, breathing and relaxation/meditation. These classes may be included as part of the weekly sport program, as a health elective or as an intensive program over several weeks, especially useful for relaxation  prior to HSC examinations. Yoga for Pre-school and Infants grades are also available. While it is  customary for traditional yoga  practices to be introduced to children at age 8, younger students are invited to  participate in pre-yoga activities such as musical movement, animal postures, story-telling and games.

Teachers are renowned amongst health workers as being stressed and in need of relaxation and stillness. Yoga for teachers can assist with unwinding, self-nurturing and increased energy and concentration levels.
