Benefits of yoga for postural education: proposed intervention program for elementary education

Abstract

Postural education and the benefits that Yoga brings are especially important in the first levels of school education. The objective has been to design and implement a pilot intervention program based on the practice of Yoga to work on postural education with Primary Education students. The method has consisted of: (1) analyzing the studies carried out in this regard and the centers in which this technique is applied. (2) Apply the intervention program based on Yoga with a playful nature supported by children's stories and observe the responses of teachers and students. The conclusions indicate that there are few educational centers that offer Yoga practice programs to improve the body posture of their students and that teachers give great importance to its prevention. The program has been accepted and applied as a pilot study in an educational center in the province of Jaén.
