As students start heading back into the classroom since the start of the pandemic, teacher and Family Resource Coordinators are looking for ways to help youth cope with the anxiety and stress Covid-19 has caused. Yoga for Kids is a great way to help youth learn how to cope with feelings, anxiety, and stress. The Scott County 4-H Youth Development Agent planned and implemented four, one hour lessons. In total 51 students in 4th grade participated in a month long 4-H enrichment during their Physical Education class. A pre and post survey was given to those youth to fill out and return. Youth learned breathing exercises, yoga poses, and were able to learn how to relax when they became stressed during a situation. The 4th graders at this school are now empowered with life skills they can use as they get older such as breathing exercises, mindfulness, stretches, the importance of living a healthy lifestyle, and learning a new hobby.
