Yoga pour adolescent(e)s
Derrière leur image cool, les adolescents vivent eux aussi beaucoup de stress. La pratique du yoga, en plus de fournir un exercice physique stimulant, leur permet de canaliser leur énergie de manière positive et d’adopter de saines habitudes de vie.
Saucha Yoga offre des cours de yoga dans les écoles secondaires.
Yoga pour athlètes scolaires
Nous offrons aussi des cours de yoga aux athlètes dans plusieurs disciplines dont le soccer, le football et le hockey. Le yoga est un excellent complément aux autres sports pour plusieurs raisons dont la concentration, l’étirement des muscles sollicités lors de la pratique de ces sports et le travail des muscles antagonistes.
Un exemple de succès!
Liberty High School est l’une des écoles qui ont décidé depuis plusieurs années, d’inclure le yoga dans le programme d’activités parascolaires offerts aux élèves.
Voici un témoignage d’une élève:
When I joined Yoga, I did it because I was told that I would feel better afterwards. It was also a way for me to complete the 50 hours of physical activity outside of school for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award: I wasn’t really expecting to enjoy it or for it to be physically exerting on any level. So you can imagine the look on my face as I left the first course feeling like a puddle of goo—a very relaxed and slightly sweaty puddle of goo. The feeling stayed with me all day and It wouldn’t be a stretch for me to add that I had never felt quite as long as I did then—every muscle in my body felt so relaxed and tension-free that I’m pretty sure my limbs were longer than before the class.
I didn’t fully appreciate the new-found release of tension until I slept through my alarm and missed a class. For the week that followed, I was incredibly stiff and had trouble sleeping at night, the stress of the last week before the end of term accumulating. I would find myself constantly stretching and massaging my shoulder hoping to relieve some of the tightness that had settled there. Another thing that I noticed was that I was a lot more irritable and found myself unreasonably short with my friends. Needless to say, the following class was like therapy—I felt as if I could move and maybe, just maybe there wasn’t as much homework or tests as I thought there was. After that class, I swore to myself never to miss another class and to help myself fulfill this goal, I now have two alarms to wake me up. Sarah
