Yoga In Education
Caring for Childhood
Play, Grow and Blossom
At Arte de Ser, Yoga is part children’s daily lives and goes far beyond postures and stretches. It fosters concentration, strengthens emotional balance, awakens self-confidence, and opens the path to self-knowledge which is essential in early childhood education to awaken each child’s unique potencial.
The practice expands body awareness, improves motor coordination, helps relieve anxiety, and provides simple tools to deal with emotions and challenges. It also promotes harmonious relationships, by cultivating empathy, cooperation, and respect for others. As such, Yoga is a path of integral development that teaches each child to care for themselves and also for the world around them.
Nossa proposta se baseia na metodologia How-To-Live pillars, systematized by Paramahansa Yogananda, which integrates the Science of Yoga into everyday life. This system is structured around four pillars, guiding the complete growth of a human being.
A Nonprofit School institute
The Arte de Ser Educational Association is a nonprofit institute dedicated to promoting education grounded in universal values, inspired by the How-To-Live pillarsphilosophy of Paramahansa Yogananda. Its proposal is based on the spirit of collective work, where the participation of educators, families, and the community strengthens a truly participatory management model.
To deepen this connection, the school includes family representatives, organized into working groups that enhance the integration between home and school. The goal is for every staff member, educator, family, and above all, each child to feel they are an active part of this process, living in harmony with the values of Arte de Ser, in an environment of cooperation, solidarity, and belonging.
The general coordination is overseen by a Council,composed of representatives of the three pillars:
- The Managing Body,responsible for general administration;
- The Pedagogical Body,which guides and supports the team of educators;
- The How-To-Live Study Group,organized by the Yoga & Education for Peace Institute, partner of the school since its foundation, offering consultancy in this field.
Learning Paths
The Arte de Ser Arte de Ser is an Early Childhood Education school, recognized by the Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC), for children from 9 months onwards. Its pedagogical approach is based on the science of Yoga and it also draws inspiration from methodologies that value the integral development of the child, such as Waldorf, Montessori, Pikler, Human Values Education, Positive Discipline, Nonviolent Communication, Systemic Pedagogy, among others.
The curriculum is structured around the four How-To-Live pillars – Science of the Body, Mental Engineering, Social Arts, and Applied Spiritual Science.These principles are translated into playful experiences, songs, poetry, stories, rhythmic circles, and meditation practices, always in harmony with nature's cycles and the seasons. In this way, we promote the balanced development of body, mind, and spirit, nurturing in children the joy of living and trust in the world.
In this Journey, the Heroes of Truth plays a special role, bringing stories and experiences inspired by the great masters of humanity – such as Gandhi, Buddha, Christ, Yogananda, Tagore, St. Francis of Assisi, Mother Teresa, and Sister Dulce. These stories awaken essential human values and expand children's understanding of life's purpose.
