Siii aquí en México en su escuela de mi nieta les dan clase de yoga y es fantástico

sure why not bjj or krav maga or how to do an oil change

Yes, along with ISL. They would compliment each other.

Get rid of homework! Let kids be free after the school day! Let them exercise and be themselves

Uuuuuuuuuum....

No.plenty of other exercise rather than yoga.

Yes

totally

No its demonic

Yes but to parents and teachers. The kids won’t need it if the adults are calmer.

Teach Gaeilge first and yoga after school hours

Every day it is suggested something new should be taught in schools. Soon they will be expected to rear the children as well as educate them. If people want all these extras let them do them after school.

Definitely!

Yes absolutely

Definitely yoga should be taught in Irish schools & through Irish too

What percentage of pupils would it benifit and what percentage would get involved because a friend is but get no benefit from it and what percentage would not do it but feel excluded. Even the (mixed age group) teachers probably could not agree on the benefits. Equality

Yes but instead of religion

It may be far better to teach them foreign languages (Spanish/French & Mandarin) which may actually prove more beneficial to them in the long term and start it at primary school level.

Would it not be an issue seen as most schools are Catholic and this is contrary to their beliefs?

Yes defently

Yes

Ya why not? Just get rid of maths. We’ll be thick but limber.

Yes!!

For fuck sake teach them to drive or boil an egg or money management

It’s not permitted in “ catholic schools” on religious grounds.

It's a pity the Seanad wasn't abolished

Absolutely! There would be a lot less bullying & upset and a lot more focus if all children did Yoga, Meditation & Mindfulness in school every day! Many schools are already doing this & say the change they have seen in the kids is astonishing. Needs to be brought into adulthood.

Yes, absolutely and replace it with that stupid, hideous religion that is done nothing but confuse people, cause indifference and divide - and try to control people’s lives.

As a teacher you end up teaching kids manners, social skills, emotional intelligence anyway, it's never just the subject you teach, so the idea of yoga in schools as a mindful way to start their day is not bad actually.

I’d prefer kids get proper PE first..

I like this idea I think 20/30 mins b4 class starts can only b a good thing 👍😊

Yes, its 100% more useful than Irish

Nutrition should , would save the state in long run

Yes and while they're teaching yogo also pilates, calisthenics, cross fit and massage. What a stupid question no teachers should concentrate on the actual education of children, leave the yoga, manners and common sense to the parent(s).

Back in 1999 a nun in our school used to bring us to the prayer room and perform yoga class. I thought to myself....isn't this against your religion?🤔😂

Yes. Anything is better than Maths.

Ste_McDermott No, not if it's a Catholic school. Yoga goes against Catholic faith.

no

Poll: Should the Dáil vote for confidence in Health Minister Simon Harris?Fianna Fáil TDs have reportedly been urged by the party whip to attend the vote tomorrow evening. In fairness to his ineptitude, Leo Varadkar appointed him to the position. Can we vote on hm? ge19 No they should not need to, he should quit, but that would involve having a conscience which is surgically removed prior to entering Dail! They should vote no confidence in the NCH project - FF abstained in 2017 so now with all that is known incl. No Maternity who could vote confidence ? This would not cause a GE but a change of attitude &site. Win Win for sick children& adults at St James!
