Summary:

Dianne Elithorn at Lowercroft Primary is mad about yoga and, since qualifying to teach it to children, has introduced it throughout the school. She believes it's a non-judgemental, non-competitive exercise that all pupils can do to aid posture, co-ordination and balance, strengthen muscles, release anxiety and help relaxation. Yoga offers a constructive outlet for anger and aggression. It improves concentration and self-esteem, and can help pupils come to terms with emotional difficulties, all of which aid learning. Dianne works with Janine Hurley from YoYogis, who does yoga through story-telling. A lot of traditional yoga poses are based on animals, and Janine uses these to weave a story together, in the process getting children active and stimulating their imaginations.
