Children in a school in Sonipat spend a large part of their school day seated. By the upper classes, this can mean six to eight hours of sitting — in class, during study periods, and even at mealtimes. The physical consequences of this are well documented: poor posture, back tension, fatigue, reduced circulation. These are not trivial complaints. A child who is physically uncomfortable finds it harder to concentrate and easier to become irritable.
Yoga works against these patterns. Asanas (postures) stretch and strengthen the spine, open the chest and release tension from the shoulders and neck — the areas most affected by prolonged sitting. Students who practise regularly tend to sit better, move more freely and report less fatigue through the school day.
