Yoga and Wellness

A whole school on the mat.

Yoga sits inside the timetable at Neelbad, not beside it. It is taught as part of SPEED, the school’s Physical Education, Yoga and Sports strand, which runs alongside the scholastic subjects from the Primary years.

Classes are held on the covered turf, which means the session runs whatever the weather is doing. Children work in their own space on their own mat, at their own pace, with the teacher moving between them.

The point is not flexibility. It is the habit of stopping, breathing and paying attention to your own body, which is the same habit Soul Science asks for in the classroom.
