YOGA IN EDUCATION
We sow the seed of attentiveness, we reap conscious awareness, and we blossom in love.
“It lies in the hands of today's adults to uplift the citizens of tomorrow by educating the children into a balanced life.”
Paramahansa Yogananda
A child invites us to transform knowledge into thoughtful caring, into connection, while being attentive to the presente moment. Between the objectivity of science and the sensibility of art there is an ancient path in the art of education that nourishes the whole being – body, mind, and heart. To educate with Yoga is to teach how to live fully: to breathe, feel, create, respect and blossom.
Our school, founded in 2008, is inspired by the How-To-Live curriculum, systematized by the Indian educator and philosopher Paramahansa Yogananda. It applies the science of Yoga to Education. Get to know the four pillars that support this methodology:
Science of the Body
How to recharge the body with vital energy through conscious breathing, combined with healthy eating, physical exercise, and the cultivation of good daily habits.
Mental Engineering
By cultivating willpower and concentration, children learn to choose wisely and build bridges of light to overcome each challenge in life.
Social Arts
Replacing the desire to possess with the joy of sharing is the pillar that awakens our awareness of how to walk on Mother Earth, sowing the foundations for a peaceful and harmonious society.
Applied Spiritual Science
Contemplative practices such as meditation, visualization, and relaxation: paths that awaken the inner wealth of each child.
Seeds of Wisdom for the First Steps
Our activities are carefully designed for children to explore, grow, and blossom in a environment of joy and discovery.
HEALTHY EATING
Nourishing with love and awareness
Here at Arte de Ser, natural and healthy food is part of the school’s philosophy and permeates our daily life.
Our menu prepared by a specialized nutritionist, is vegetarian, with vegan options, and we welcome specific diets for those with other restrictions.
One of the most anticipated moments is the weekly bread-making ritual, when children prepare with care the little bread they take home to share with their families.
COMMUNITY
Families and school
holding hands!
The connection between family and school is essential to the How-To-Live principles, as a balanced life is built in all of the child’s environments. Since its foundation, family involvement has strengthened bonds and created a support network among parents.
The Family at School Project encourages families to co-create this dream of applying Yoga in Education, sharing talents in workshops and in educational and pedagogical activities. Our festivities and celebrations – such as the June festival, family gatherings, workshops during Children’s Week, and the end-of-year celebration – bring everyone closer, strengthening bonds.
These moments show children that together we are stronger, reminding them that, in essence, we are all One.
