Petition to Get Yoga Balls in Classrooms

    We, the undersigned, support the addition of a policy that ensures 3 yoga balls in every classroom at Souhegan High School. Having yoga balls inside of classrooms will relieve stress and help students focus better, while also being beneficial for physical and mental health. Currently, there are no yoga balls in the classrooms at Souhegan High School, and students are only given the option of a plastic chair. According to Dr. John Ratey, a professor at Harvard University, “The tiny movements people make while seated to stay balanced stimulate their brains and help them focus.” Providing the option for students to use yoga balls would allow them to move more.
    Providing yoga balls in classrooms would give more benefits than just focusing, including benefits for students with ADHD and other attention disorders. Darcy Lewis (a mother of two ADHD children) found that having her kids use yoga balls while they did homework had a huge positive impact on how they focused.
    Students should be provided with the best learning environment. Souhegan High School should invest in yoga balls to help students for the better.
