Yoga Makes You Strong – Discover the Superhero in You

The module ‘Yoga Makes You Strong – Discover the Superhero in You’ will be offered for all cycles from October 2026. Cycle 1 kindergarten can only take part from the second term onwards. The yoga module is adapted to suit the children’s ages.
The module is embedded within the transversal theme of physical, mental and socio-emotional health (Éducation à la santé physique, mentale et socio-émotionnelle – bien-être, résilience).
Pupils learn various techniques that help them become more resilient on a physical, mental, emotional and social level. These techniques can, of course, also be used outside school. Breathing plays a central role in this. Through a variety of breathing games, the children become aware of the importance of their own breathing and learn how to use their breath in a targeted way.

Procedure: 

The yoga module consists of 3 phases: 

  1. Phase: 3 sessions (1 session per week) in the first or second term, led by the YES coordinator. Each session lasts between 50 and 70 minutes, depending on the cycle. 
  2. Phase: Independent practice in the classes 
  3. Phase: A final session in the third term led by the teaching staff and supervised by the YES coordinator. 

The yoga module focuses on sustainability. Teaching staff and children play an active part. The class creates a poster featuring yoga exercises. During the second phase, the exercises are carried out independently in the classes and, where appropriate, further developed. The explanatory video provides further information on the content of the yoga module.
