Getting to know yoga at primary school
Social interaction
Many of us have already experienced for ourselves that yoga is good for you – and not just for your body, but also for your mind. Now imagine what it would be like if children could learn yoga and mindfulness at primary school. School, real life, is the ideal place to put into practice everything they learn in yoga. Social interaction and dealing with challenging situations are on the agenda.
Yoga tackles the daily challenges at school
With our course for yoga in primary school, we show how and where yoga and mindfulness can be integrated, without a mat and not just in PE lessons. Studies have proven the holistic effect of yoga. For example, children learn mechanisms for coping with stress through yoga in primary school.
What effect does yoga have on pupils in primary school?
Yoga works, no matter where yoga is practiced. School is a wonderful place where everything you learn in yoga exercises can be put into practice. A study by Charité Berlin has examined the effect of yoga at school.
The Charité study took place over a period of 10 weeks. Children and adolescents attended weekly yoga classes during this period. The results showed a clear alleviation of physical complaints such as headaches and shoulder/neck tension as well as a significant improvement in mental and emotional factors such as concentration and the tendency to worry, depression and discontent*.

We can’t stop the waves of life
