What is your opinion about making Yoga as a compulsory subject in school?

Hi Chaitra, Thanks for coming first this time. You know I had doubts that whether I will get any response because the topic was 'Yoga' and many are not interested to discuss about the same. Second thing, usually when I start a discussion I got the first response within minute or sometimes within five minutes and this time it took one hour (lol). But I am happy, so far I got 19 replies, it is good. Coming to the topic, I also heard the same thing explained by you that is the reason for my interest to yoga in school. I wish to send my kids for yoga but it is not available in near place where I am residing. I told the same to my hubby too if yoga is available in school it will be a great thing. Hopefully my dream may get fulfill in near future. Than you very much for the positive response dear. Have an excellent day.

Hope your children get good yoga education.. If possible you too try to learn yoga.. I am planning to join classes in the next month..

Hi Chaitra, It is good to know that you have planned to join yoga. Please do it. I can't do the same because it is not available near to our place and in morning I am busy with kids too. Please inform the developments about your program.

Hi dragon54u, Here the government is planning to implement Yoga in school from next academic session. The preparations are going on and they are telling that they have plans to do yoga without disturbing other classes. We have to wait and see the result. Have a great weekend to you. Take care.

Hi deepak, You are exactly right and thank you for sharing the benefits of yoga. The news was published in daily Times of India. Actually they have a plan to introduce the same from Class VI onwards. In my opinion they can start from the primary level, at least from the class I. Let us wait what they are going to do. Have a nice day.

Hi lucky, First of all I am happy to know that you are a lucky person. Secondly congratulations for crossing 1000 mark. Regarding the subject 'yoga' I am happy with your positive reply. I agree with you now people are leading an unhealthy life style especially kids are sitting in front of the TV and watching cartoon channels. They are also addicted with junk foods. Children are not getting chances for outdoor games which will provide physical exercise. So there is the importance of Yoga. But I disagree with your statement; parents would like the unhealthy lifestyle. As a parent I don’t like if my kids lead an unhealthy life style. I am not providing them junk foods, not allow them to sit in front of TV for long time. Thank you very much for your participation. Have a nice day.

Yoga is good it calm the mind..it teach discipline and self control..it is the way to exercise the mind like getting to uses brains in doing good things and be more intelligent. yeah, ii is true children should not be force to join Yoga and it should be their own free choice if they like to join or not..but, better introduce them slowly until they fully like it.

Hi springs, Your point it also a valid one, whether the children like to do yoga. I think introducing yoga is good so that they can decide whether to continue or not. I agree, forcing is not good especially for children. Thanks for your input. Have a nice day.

Hi Eternus, Violation of Human Rights...? I think yoga is very simple and anybody can do without much efforts especially among kids. Introducing yoga is good to them, later they can decide whether it is good or bad. Thanks for joining. Have a nice day.

Ok ok, but the word is so meaningful because I am dealing with those words very seriously in the officer front. Thanks for the clarification.

I did not not mean a very dangerous violation,,Only a slight one as you know ,,some violations of rights can make good effects,, :D

Hi Cosmo, Yeah, time is the problem with every one. I think yoga should be practiced under the expert initially and I do not get chance for the same. I hope my kids will be lucky to practice yoga under an expert in the field. I am waiting for the same. Have a nice day.

Hi morehaganeshan, Yes, yoga can help the children to boost the memory power, keep physically as well as mentally healthy and fresh. If it starts in school kids can get a chance to learn yoga and practicing the same. Hope the idea will work and implement soon. Thanks for joining. Have a nice weekend.

Hi ramesh, I didn't know that 'yoga' is coming under the Hindu category. I think it is a form of exercise which is beneficial for mental health as well as physical health. I don’t have any information other than that. Thanks for sharing and appreciating Yoga as a compulsory subject. Have a nice day.

Hi dear, That will be a great idea to learn yoga from kids; you are really thinking very deeply, hats off to you. Presently kids are very lazy and busy with cartoon channels and hardly get out for outdoor games. I really wish to send my son for practicing yoga but it is not available near our place. Let me wait for sometime, I think that is the only way. Hope you are doing well.

Hi celebrate, There is no point to worry on the past. I can understand as a student we may not be much serious so it is natural to become lazy but regret on later. Forget about it and think what you can do now. All the best and thanks for joining.

Hi hireshd, It is a good idea and it enhances the abilities of kids mentally and physically. Now the kids are much interested to sit in front of TV and watching their favorite cartoon channels. They lack physical exercise because they are not involving physical activities like out door games. Yoga will help those kids more. Let us hope the best result. Thanks for joining. Have a great day.

Hi aira, I have the same opinion, yoga should make compulsory in school but if any child does not like it then they should allowed opting it out. But I hope every child will enjoy the benefits of yoga once it introduced to them. I have visited your blog which is very beautiful and read the stories too. You have done a wonderful work. Have a nice time.

Hi dear, Yes you are right yoga can cure even dangerous diseases but the person should be dedicated to it. Yoga will help the kids to be more disciplined. It will increase the concentration which will helps in good way for their studies. Let us hope the decision will implement soon. Take care and have a nice day.

Hi sophie, I warmly welcome the decision of the government and I don't know how much it will work, whether they will implement only in some school etc. But I am eagerly waiting for the implementation of the decision. Thanks for joining. Have a nice day.

Hi sketch, I agree we can't force the kids to do Yoga but I think introducing yoga to them never give any harm, if they don’t like they can decide it and drop it later. I think the instructor should explain the benefits of yoga and kids will be interested to do the same. Thanks for your input. Have a nice day.

Hi Paula, I agree with you, yoga should be beneficial to kids especially in primary class. I also don’t feel to force them but giving an introduction to kids about yoga is good and let them have their choice later on whether to practice it or not. If it starts from the primary level it can make more disciplined kids. Thanks for joining. Have a nice day.

Hi bhargavoza, I also wish to introduce yoga to my kids but sadly it is not available in near our place and in morning they are in a hurry to reach school. If the school is starting the same then they won't miss it. Thanks for joining and sharing your happiness. Have a nice day.

Hi sritrinity, I think yoga is one of the sports which won’t give any danger to kids. In Indian schools even horse riding is included in sports. I don’t know the benefits of learning horse riding in school. Yoga can keep the kids fit mentally and physically. I do hope the decision will implement in school at the earliest. Thanks for joining. Have a nice day.

Hi phoenix, You have done yoga so you know more about the benefits. Yoga can give physical and mental exercise. I heard that it will boost the memory power in kids, it will teach discipline to kids etc. Let us hope the great idea will become practical too. Thanks for sharing your insight. Have a nice day.
