“The body benefits from movement, and the mind benefits from stillness”
The above is a quote from Sakyong Mipham, and it reenforces that both physical fitness – and mental health – are important. At CONNECT, one of the options students have to participate in during the after school program is yoga!
Students learn positions like Standing Big Toe Hold Pose (Utthita Hasta Padangustanasa) and Tree Pose (Trikonasana) during class.
CONNECT is the free after-school program offered to the Highland Falls-Fort Montgomery Central School District’s second to sixth grade students, sponsored by the West Point Association of Graduates. (From the News of the Hudson Highlands)
