Yoga Kids recently taught classes at New Bedford High School at the request of a teacher. The kids were great and very open minded considering most of them had never tried yoga before. : )
H.S. can be a very stressful place. The skills students learn from yoga will be very helpful in managing that stress. I was more than happy to show them a few simple techniques they will be able to use in the future.
Here are some student quotes:
“The yoga experience was fun. I tried every stretch some were hard though. If there’s one thing I learned was never do yoga in tight jeans. All around, I enjoyed and would do it again gladly.” -Samuel DeJesus
“I liked the yoga class that I did in class. It was a great experiment and very relaxing and it made me calm. The movements were easy so you don’t have to be flexible to do it.” -Anonymous
“I really like the yoga class. It got my mind clear and I really relaxed.” -Kaitlyn Lima
“I never had done yoga before and that was the first time that I tried it. It was fun to try something new. Some of the things were difficult, but fun.” -Brandon Booker
“I thought the yoga was a good experience. I was chilled for the rest of the day. I also wanted to fall asleep.” -Lukas Freitas
“The yoga was very good and relaxing even though I didn’t do much of it. It looked relaxing and the whole room was calm. I think we should do that every seminar.” -Andrew Pasquine
“I really liked the yoga. All the poses are really interesting. They help you feel calm and they help you relieve stress. My favorite poses are any ones when you have to stretch a lot and reach really far.” -Alyssa Couto
“The yoga was very entertaining. I liked it. It was calming, relaxing, and soothing. The teacher told me if I do the poses correctly, I would be physically and mentally strong even my core.” -Anonymous
“It was very relaxing; I had a good time and would love to do it again. Thank you.” -Anonymous
“When I was doing yoga I felt so relaxed that my body was calm. The yoga helped my stress go away and my head was so relaxed.” -Alishia Souza
“My reflection on the yoga was really good. It was a lot of fun and I would like to do it again.” -Hannah Lewis
“Mr. Donohue, I thought that yoga is very interesting and a good relaxing technique to unwind. It also helped me calm down and loosen up. It kind of gives you a state of mind. I wish they actually had a yoga class at school.” -Arthur Alves
