Elizabeth Beckvis, a fourth-grade teacher, wants her students at Fernbank Primary School in Deskato, Georgia to pay attention to Greek mythology. It's not a classroom. The students are lying on the floor and practicing yoga on their desks (feeling a little embarrassed). Nine-year-old Jack Besl said: This is very interesting. It made us feel relaxed after sitting for an hour, and Besl's classmate Mediha Paksh said it helped her concentrate. It relaxes me, lets me release all the pressure.
It's an interesting way to make them think,' says Beckhams. You know, it's healthy for them, too I teach them myths in yoga postures.
Baker Weiss and other teachers began to provide yoga in the classroom two years ago to teach students. They learn yoga through the Children's International Yoga Organization and then teach students at school. Physical education class of Fairbank Elementary School once taught yoga. During that time, Katie Basor, a PE teacher, said that if you told your students to learn yoga, they would immediately agree.
Feohm, a fifth-grade child in kindergarten, students learn to take a deep breath and do basic yoga at their desks. Teachers say it can relieve their stress before the exam. June Neil, the principal, said that we have seen that children's test scores have improved and their test-taking skills have decreased after more contact (I think this may mean cheating).
