The mental and emotional well being of our students is of the utmost importance. Teaching them to be emotional fit is something that is on the top of our list and this project speaks to that. The use of yoga mats will provide the students the ability to move and increase competencies in academics while also increasing their self-esteem. By using yoga mats, students will be able to reduce anxiety and tension along with increasing self-awareness. Mats will be used daily to help students develop mindfulness skills. Students will increase calmness, physical well-being and positive mood. The lessons taught using yoga mats will increase students outcomes in the classroom by developing classroom management, academic performance and emotional regulation. I need to empower students with mindfulness skills!
