Yoga for Mindfulness 10-12 (outside timetable)

Yoga for Mindfulness is a new course running outside-the-timetable that offers a holistic journey to well-being. In this course, students will delve into yogic philosophy, anatomy and mindfulness. Through the practice of yoga asana (poses), meditation, breathing techniques and mindfulness, students will experience the health benefits of yoga and simultaneously learn more about themselves through the process. This course will offer students the opportunity to incorporate more exercise into their daily routine in a non-competitive environment and with gentle instruction. Students will enhance their physical wellness by developing increased strength, flexibility and balance while simultaneously learning skills to manage a healthy school-life balance. Students will also learn to identify the precursors to stress and relieve the effects of anxiety and pressure more easily. This is an inclusive course for all grades, genders and abilities.
