Behaviour
Through regular use of YogaBugs virtual, children will develop an improvement in concentration, which in turn improves behaviour. Through building self confidence with our sessions, children start to believe in themselves, improving behaviour both inside and outside of the classroom.
With hundreds of visualisations, mindfulness & breathing exercises, which helps children regulate their emotions & improves behaviour.
Listening skills & concentration
Our platform has 120+ hall-based sessions & 100+ classroom sessions, which help to improve children’s listening skills as they focus on the instructions from our teacher on screen.
Balancing poses teach children to focus & listening skills are required to participate. Concentration techniques teach children to focus their mind on the task at hand.
Improved concentration results in better behaviour. This dramatically improves learning enabling children to develop new skills.
Children regulating emotions
YogaBugs virtual gives children essential tools for recognising, understanding, and managing emotions. The platform has many breathing & relaxation exercises which teachers can use anytime.
These exercises help control emotions and how to express them. By taking part in our sessions, children release stress through physical activity. They learn to control their behaviour, which results in better participation in the classroom.
Mental Health
Incorporating YogaBugs virtual into your school lays a strong foundation for mental wellness. Through our sessions, children develop essential skills to manage stress, anxiety & emotional challenges. These tools not only enhance self esteem but also empower children to have a positive outlook and build greater resilience.
With the mental health of children the highest it’s ever been, it’s vitally important to incorporate a programme which teaches children to regulate emotions, giving them fundamental techniques they can take into adulthood.
Anxiety
Children will learn how to manage stress through our yoga sessions, breathing exercises, relaxation and mindfulness techniques; which all help to build confidence, resilience and reduce anxiety.
By implementing YogaBugs virtual to help tackle anxiety, the platform will improve behaviour, improve social skills & develop friendships, ease aggression and make children happier overall.
