To Lighthouse Trails:
My kids are taking an AP English class and were asked to read articles that show the benefits of Yoga in schools. The question was not if Yoga was good or bad, but whether detention using Yoga was effective, reading an article that said it was (per query of the students’ getting detention). Essentially inviting the kids to challenge their opinions to include Yoga in a myriad of situations in life. My kids were aghast, that it is truly the new normal in education. I did a search to see, and CNN is coming out with an article on Yoga and meditation nearly monthly now, I find this quite alarming. I thought perhaps the matter would interest all of you at Lighthouse Trails.
