Yoga at School
In a twelve month study of over 400 primary school and middle school students, Slovacek, Tucker & Pantojo (2003) found that as a consequence of participation in a yoga curriculum for one hour per week, 'bad' behaviour, as measured by discipline referrals, decreased. Research suggests yoga helps decrease stress levels, build positive emotional experience and improve academic performance in school children.

“Steph’s approach to mindfulness and yoga is truly refreshing. Each week we were blessed with the opportunity to practice yoga at school and learnt new poses to help reduce personal stress. Steph is the pure essence of the mentality I strive to hold in my core.”
