Why Yoga?

There are many benefits of yoga. Juruyoga mentions four benefits of yoga specifically for students.

Yoga helps improve your posture, boost your confidence, increase your stamina and flexibility to name some of the benefits. In today's nonstop, high pressure society, it's not surprising that we are seeing an increasing number of students struggle from an early age.

Practicing yoga, can increase relaxation and focus. When students are more relaxed and focus, we see academic improvement. They are able to study peaceful without feeling as stressed.

Chanting, holding poses, remembering sequences all help students improve their memory. Focusing on ones breath, helps eliminate distractions. This in turn, helps the student focus and remember what he or she is learning.

For a child with ADHD, a regular yoga practice can help increase his or her attention span. With a daily practice, studies have shown improvement in attention span after a month.

Yoga helps students become aware of how they are holding their body and improves posture. Improved posture leads to increased alertness and ability to function.
