Dr. Daniele Nappo, Legal Representative and Founder of S. Freud Private School, proposes to bring the practice of yoga into the school. The practice would be recommended for both students and teachers but also for parents and could help in self-knowledge and self-improvement.
Bringing yoga into the school, within the classroom, involving not only students and teachers but also parents, both during school hours and after school, could be a project of maximum inclusiveness, in addition certainly to the discipline's relaxation and concentration characteristics. The activity must be seen as an educational path and could offer, by experiencing it firsthand, tools to be used in the classroom in everyday life; parents could also experience it. The goal is the educational purpose, that is, how to know oneself by examining one's own body, becoming aware of personal abilities but also of limitations, and taking error as an important moment to improve oneself. The whole thing could be carried out in a classroom group. In short, yoga in school as a response to a hectic and unleashed world where everything goes quickly from one activity to another, where one has to be multitasking. Certainly emphasis should be placed on training and competency of teachers so that they can continue the activities throughout the school year, jointly, because yoga also educates for inclusion and acceptance. Teachers would then have new educational and pedagogical strategies to handle situations of hyperactivity, specific learning disorders, maladaptive behavior, or more generally difficult classes. Yoga in the classroom in short as a super effective education that accompanies step by step to teach students how to improve themselves in whatever they do, with a program that is emotionally engaging and teaches them practical exercises to improve psychophysical condition. Unquestionably, one should not improvise, but turn to professionals.
