HOW DOES YOGA ADDRESS THE NEW OFSTED FRAMEWORK 2019 FOR SCHOOLS?

The framework is split into 4 key judgements: -
The quality of education
Behaviour and attitudes
Personal Development
Leadership and Management

‘Behaviour and Attitudes’ is now a separate judgement area: -

Yoga promotes a positive mindset and happy mind. It teaches children and young people how to respect themselves and others and how to be kind to themselves and others. Children learn how to regulate their emotions, feelings and behaviour and how to bring peace and calm to the mind by practising yoga techniques.

In Yoga we have an eight-fold path to right living that is called The Eight Limbs of Yoga. The eight limbs act as a guide to live a life of integrity, self-discipline, respect for nature and the spiritual aspects of life.
One of The Eight Limbs of Yoga is Yama which promotes five universal, ethical and moral standards to live life by 1. Non-violence, 2. truthfulness, 3. non-stealing, 4. continence and 5. non-covetousness.

‘Personal Development’ is now a separate judgement area: -

Schools are crucial in preparing pupils for their adult lives. Yoga teaches children vital life skill tools to support them into their adult lives to prevent later break downs in mental health.

 developing responsible, respectful and active citizens who are able to play their part and become actively involved in public life as adults

Yoga connects the body and mind and leads a person to find their own personal happiness. If a child grows up to become a happy and well-rounded individual this will help them to deal with any challenges that they may face along their path of life. Yoga teaches children vital life skill tools ensuring they are ready and will thrive in the outside world.

 promoting equality of opportunity so that all pupils can thrive together, understanding that difference is a positive, not a negative, and that individual characteristics make people unique

In yoga we are all unique, we are all different and that is okay. We are enough. Yoga is non-competitive.

 promoting an inclusive environment that meets the needs of all pupils, irrespective of age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation

Yoga is an inclusive discipline. Yoga is for everyone.

 developing pupils’ character, which we define as a set of positive personal traits, dispositions and virtues that informs their motivation and guides their conduct so that they reflect wisely, learn eagerly, behave with integrity and cooperate consistently well with others. This gives pupils the qualities they need to flourish in our society

We teach this through The Eight Limbs of Yoga. Yoga teaches children vital life skill tools ensuring they are ready and will thrive in the outside world.

developing pupils’ confidence, resilience and knowledge so that they can keep themselves mentally healthy

Yoga increases confidence and resilience in children and young people and is scientifically proven to improve both physical and mental health. The NHS now prescribe yoga to patients suffering with anxiety and depression. We believe Schools are the perfect environments to help our future generations. Yoga is an effective early intervention tool to support the mental health of all children.

 developing pupils’ understanding of how to keep physically healthy, eat healthily and maintain an active lifestyle, including giving ample opportunities for pupils to be active during the school day and through extra-curricular activities

Yoga is a physical activity that improves strength, co-ordination, balance, flexibility, focus and concentration skills. We have a rising problem in the UK with inactivity in children which can lead to obesity and other health problems. Yoga addresses this area by increasing activity. Yoga promotes a healthy body and mind.

The beauty of yoga is that it can be incorporated anywhere into the School curriculum, for example, as a PE lesson, PSHE lesson, lunch time club, after school club, Wellbeing day, Sports Day, SATS course and Special Days in the School calendar.

To meet the requirements of the new Ofsted Framework our recommendation would be to incorporate yoga into your School as a Wellbeing Day once every half term for the whole School.

‘Health Education’ is now being taught in Schools teaching children about good physical health and mental health and we believe yoga addresses these areas and much more.

Yoga for every School. Good physical and mental health should be at the heart of ensuring young people are ready for the adult world.

Please contact us if you would like to make a booking for your School setting.

Thank you for such a lovely post Clair at Be Your Own Kind Of Beautiful Community

We have loved teaching little Yogis and they have all done so well in such a short space of time. It just proves how powerful yoga is and how beneficial it is for children.

We strongly believe that regular yoga practise would improve children's mental health problems dramatically.

We look forward to working at Be Your Own Kind Of Beautiful Community again soon.

Love and Om. Lisa ❤️🙏

We've had a great 2 days working with Penketh Community Primary School Friends Of Penketh Primary teaching yoga to the whole School. The Academy is part of the Warrington Primary Academy Trust WPAT.

We ran 7x 30 minute sessions for Reception - Year 6 teaching over 200 children the benefits of yoga for the body and mind. Increasing physical activity and teaching the children how to meditate and be calm.

Our favourite feedback from today from one boy student "Miss you are a magician" "I came into the class with a headache and now it's gone!"

Thank you for supporting the emotional health and well being of your students Penketh Primary.

We look forward to working with you again next term.

Namaste 🙏

Thank you to this young man for sharing his positive experience of yoga and breath control work. By practising yoga regularly this has reduced his anger and made him a much calmer person.

Yoga is more than the poses. The breath work, meditation and relaxation are the most powerful elements to bring peace and calm to the mind. Connecting the body, mind and spirit 🙏

Yoga will bring you personal happiness 💗

Namaste 🕉
