They also cultivate strength, flexibility and balance.

Aligned to the school curriculum, we help students develop essential life skills needed to thrive in today's ever more stressful world.

Why is yoga & mindfulness so important for high school students?

There is growing evidence to suggest that Australian youth experience very high stress in schools, which has negative impacts on their academic performance and mental health. Mindful based yoga programs in the US are showing tremendous positive results in reducing stress and anxiety amongst students.

The practice of yoga and mindfulness goes a long way in supporting high school students to manage their stress and anxiety.

Here’s how!
