Research strongly indicates that yoga and mindfulness activities in schools are linked to improved social-emotional wellbeing, mental health, concentration, self-regulation and learning outcomes for students. 

The Yoga and Mindfulness for Schools Program is aligned with the current NSW Syllabus and the Wellbeing Framework. It delivers yoga and mindfulness classes to students in schools and supports teachers to incorporate yoga and mindfulness into their classroom. This program has been in development collaboratively since 2016. A pilot program ran successfully at Scarborough Public School in 2017.

A collaborative research project is currently running with the University of Wollongong to study the outcomes of yoga and mindfulness on school students’ social and emotional wellbeing, mental health and learning.

Improve student wellbeing and learning outcomes at your school through a research-based yoga and mindfulness program that:

• Builds strength, flexibility and confidence in the body’s movement
• Provides skills to still the mind, focus attention, improve concentration and self-regulation
• Enhances self-belief, confidence and a growth mindset
• Builds a culture of respect and inclusiveness, and develops skills for empathy     
• Assists with positive interpersonal relationships and social skills     
• Encourages fun and creativity at school
