Yoga will provide the children with much needed break from their hectic lifestyle of studies and other activities. It is one of the ways that can make children realize the difference between the active life and the passive life.

In the age where everything is open on the internet, yoga helps the children to gain control over their mind and body in all the aspects. One of the most important things is the cost factor. Schools don’t need to spend huge amount of money to impart yoga education to students.

Yoga helps to maintain the equilibrium, increases the attention and concentration power, and keeps body fit and healthy. Yoga helps to rejuvenate the body and gives the freshness to the body tissues.

We always feel the necessity to learn the proper way of performing the exercise in the correct posture. Learning such exercises in schools would be the most appropriate way to inculcate this good habit into the lifestyle.
School is the place where the stepping stones get molded and learn to withstand the harsh realities of the world. This form of teaching the yoga in schools will help the children to develop the good habits of performing the exercise in the morning.

When it comes to constructive things, they complain about shortage of time. Making yoga compulsory is in school is a good idea. It will help the students to relax and get control over their mind and body. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
