What the petition asks
The digital age has a huge impact on teenage posture, cognitive processes, emotional stability and physical health. This results in an increase of immune, digestive and respiratory deficiencies, behavioural problems and Mental Health.
We are proposing a multidisciplinary holistic program which brings together the most valuable benefits of Pilates, Yoga, natural movement and mindfulness. Our Programme aims to support teenagers in developing their anatomical strength changing their cognitive processes from negative to positive improving their emotional stability, behaviour and overall health.
‘Much effort is put into educating children’s minds but teaching them how to use their bodies is often ignored. This is an opportunity to give teenagers lifelong skills on how to look after their bodies’ - David Meyer, Head Teacher.
