As
a part of the effort to get our schools and students moving, yoga provides one
way of enriching the standard Physical Education curriculum to be at once more
inclusive and more relevant to students of any age. Not only does yoga build
upon basic tenants of physical fitness, such as muscle strength, bone strength
and flexibility, but it does so in a way that is developmentally appropriate,
accessible, and non-competitive for students of diverse capacities.
Yoga
Ed. actually goes beyond the traditional model of P.E. to enhance self-awareness,
self-management and self-efficacy, helping students to build essential life
skills and draw connections to their everyday life in a way that team sports
may not. In other words, yoga helps students develop concrete tools that
empower them to take charge of their own health, not just to excel on the
field. They learn to observe their needs and their environment, and get
intentional about how they feed, move, and respect their bodies for the
long-term.
But
yoga does so much more than get students’ bodies moving, and it actually helps
to fulfill needs that a traditional P.E. curriculum typically does not. For
one, in most team sports, the activities typically aren’t focused on developing
a child’s individual development, sense of balance and space, and general
coordination. While kids may learn very specific skill sets such as kicking or
throwing, they don’t often come away with an improved sense of holistic
body-awareness.
