Please accept this letter as a recommendation for HUNTER YOGA SYNC. Approximately 15 students throughout this term have been participating in the HUNTER YOGA SYNC PROGRAM.
Student were selected for the program, as they were either presenting to our Wellbeing team showing signs of stress or anxiety and were looking for strategies to manage their emotions in a positive way.
Students have completed 5 weeks of the program thus far. Throughout the sessions students are kindly guided through yoga poses that are meridian-based yoga therapy. The yoga poses are designed to relieve tension and stress on a physical, mental and emotional level.
Throughout the sessions students also work on calming breathing techniques and growth mindset activities to help create lasting change beyond the yoga room.
All students have engaged well with the program and have only positive feedback following each session.
Yours sincerely
Michelle Bedford – Student Support Officer, Mt View High School
