We want to ensure that, in a stress-free environment, they develop a healthy relationship with their bodies through play, strengthen their motor and social skills, and learn\u2014while having fun\u2014how to self-regulate when facing stress. <\/p>\n<p>Stress, negative body image, pressure to perform and lack of exercise are just a few examples of the physical and psychological challenges our children face today. Politicians are calling for this trend to be counteracted in everyday primary school life. But little has happened so far: more and more children are suffering from depression and exhaustion. Students complain about increased headaches, neck and back pain. The majority of children in Germany don&#8217;t get enough exercise. Teachers and parents complain about the extremely short attention spans of their students. The number of boys and girls with behavioral problems is increasing. Suicide is now the leading cause of death among teenagers and young adults.       <\/p>\n<p>In the pilot project &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/lieblingsfach-matte.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lieblingsfach Matte<\/a>&#8220;, all 188 children across grades 1 through 4 at the Nikolaus-Gro\u00df-Grundschule in Cologne\u2014a two-stream primary school with a social index rating of 3\u2014will participate in a weekly yoga class during the 2024\/2025 school year. This yoga session is part of the timetable and, like all other subjects, lasts 45 minutes. It takes place in the morning and is firmly integrated into the physical education curriculum.  <\/p>\n<p>At the start of the school year, fixed partnerships are formed between the class teacher and a trained children&#8217;s yoga instructor. Each yoga instructor thus becomes a &#8220;yoga mentor&#8221; for a specific class and works closely with that class teacher throughout the entire school year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div
