Abstract | Classroom management has always been a challenge for most teachers. But what if student concentration could be augmented with several calming breaths and a chance to stretch desk-cramped young bodies? That is the question a growing number of schools are exploring by introducing yoga classes and practices into their buildings. And a limited--but growing--body of research indicates yoga for kids may be an effective strategy for proactively managing classroom behavior and efficiently boosting student learning and performance. Tara Guber, a yoga instructor with more than 25 years of experience, argues that a yoga practice--even once a week--helps students feel safe, show greater acceptance of others' differences, and demonstrate better conflict management among themselves. All that adds up to more time and energy for teaching and learning. (ERIC). |
