1st Blog Post

In this Post, I will be responding to Abby’s blog.

Abby discusses how better active health correlates with better mental health along with sharing an informative Ted Talk. I totally agree that more active students are more likely to learn and feel better overall. I believe, the link between physical and mental health is underestimated and should be considered when it comes to education. Students should be healthy in all aspects of their lives (personal, social, physical etc.) before they take on academic learning.

In my high school, we had a yoga and mindfulness course where we practiced yoga flows for 1 hour a day. I found this class left me feeling less stressed and more energized to continue my schoolwork. More schools should have mandatory courses like this to benefit all students.
