In yoga Namaste is said to show appreciation and respect for one another. "Namaste After School" is an after school yoga program which incorporates physical activity with mindfulness, while encouraging students to respect themselves as well as others. Yoga can help to improve mood, resilience, and self-regulation so students can better cope with emotions and stress. Yoga offers students a break from various distractions, technologies, and stressors in their lives while simultaneously promoting compassion, self-awareness and mindfulness, which can be valuable life-long skills.
