Yoga

Physical Education

• The activity has introduced the concept of balance and coordination as the student tries to hold various yoga poses and transitions between them.
• The student has improved flexibility and strength through regular practice of yoga exercises and stretches.

For continued development, encourage the 4-year-old student to explore different yoga poses and sequences. Introducing simple yoga games and storytelling incorporated with yoga movements can make the activity more engaging and entertaining for the child.
