URUGUAY, February 23, 2018 (Concierto, translated from Spanish): The Council of Initial and Primary Education of Uruguay decided to establish sports yoga in all the schools of the country until 2019. The initiative had already been launched as a pilot program and now it has been extended to rural and special educational centers. The advisor in Physical Education, Marta Machado, said that “I wanted to see how these new experiences worked in other types of places.” She added that “these practices generate a space for children to become aware not only of their own moods and emotions, but also of what their colleagues are feeling. This proposal was approved after it was tested in School 125 of La Treja for two years and judged a success.
