Yoga Tools For Schools - Dinner Dance

Yoga Tools For Schools are hosting a fun event in October - a 1920's themed Dinner Dance!

But what is "Yoga Tools For Schools"?

When people hear the word "yoga" a few things may come to mind -  stretching, meditation, an excuse to wear comfy pants...  For me personally, discovering Yoga is what kick started a 20kg weight loss after baby No.2 and a complete turn around of my attitude towards exercise.  Finally I had discovered an exercise that was gentle yet effective, non-competitive and self paced, plus I could finally touch my toes!

The health benefits of yoga have long been celebrated, but it is the benefits to the mind and overall wellbeing that make this form of exercise the perfect tool for schools.  Yoga can calm a busy mind and encourages focus and self awareness.

Few exercises modalities offer such scope for enhancing whole health as does yoga.  Yoga exquisitely blends techniques which promote muscle tone, flexibility, correct breathing, mental clarity, stress relief and inner peace." - yogatoolsforschools.com.au

Yoga Tool For Schools Inc was founded by a group of yoga teachers, school teachers and parents who strongly believe that by introducing Yoga into a classroom routine, students are more focused, energised and relaxed.

With just 2 to 8 minutes of class time dedicated to Yoga, educators can:

- Empower young people to make healthy, positive choices and decisions
- Alleviate the stress that children and youth live with today
- Enable students to develop and enhance self awareness, self care and self management.
- Turn a chaotic classroom into a calm learning environment.

Yoga Tools For Schools Inc was officially launched in May 2012 with training programs introduced in 2013.  Since then they have helped students, educators, youth workers, and carers harness the power of Yoga and reap the benefits to both mind and body.

Currently Yoga Tools For Schools operates through the generous support of sponsors and community fundraising efforts.  The crew are busy planning an upcoming fundraising event that is sure to be a hit!
