The importance of yoga in school
Education is a need as old as mankind and-in its constant becoming and innovating-one of the fundamental key to the sustainability of our own future. In this sense, bringing yoga to schools is more important than ever.
Educational Yoga, in fact, constitutes a recent pedagogical frontier that, in this spirit, combines ancient holistic principles of Yoga and the latest pedagogical horizons, psychological e biomedical.
The purpose of bringing yoga to school is to complement and direct traditional pedagogical paths – not only school – to foster a growth of children and young people that is harmonious, equally respectful of cognitive aspects, physical e spiritual and aimed at the well-being of being in relationship with self and others.

What are life skills?
Life skills represent all those skills that accompany the individual throughout the course of life, whether they are emotional, social o cognitive. In a rapidly changing world, where young people are constantly exposed to a myriad of stimuli and challenges, life skills become a beacon of orientation.
Among these, we find the ability to make informed decisions, the time management, the problem solvingi , the effective communication e the ability to work in a team. Other important life skills include emotional intelligence, such as the ability to recognize and manage one’s emotions, empathy towards others, and resilience to overcome obstacles. Let us not forget self-control, the mental flexibility and the ability to adapt to new situations.
This is why integrating yoga for children in schools through Educational Yoga can have a transformative power: this practice not only improves the physical condition of children and teenagers, but also enables the development of life skills, preparing them for a future oriented towards well-being and mindfulness.
