About Super SELfy in Schools
Because of an increase of mental health issues in kids,
a lack of emotional and mental health resources for kids and
a lack of Spanish-speaking content and representation in wellness and mental health in a dominant and growing market, Super SELfy is able to provide and easily implement the perfect curriculum and program for your school's needs.

12-week yoga intervention for Kindergarten students with two thirty-minute yoga classes each week = improved attention and reduced hyperactivity, enhanced cognitive and behavioral factors helpful for academic and social emotional development.

Literature on yoga interventions in school revealed benefits of yoga and mindfulness on children’s abilities to cope with stress and anxiety, students’ self regulation skills, as well as cognitive and social emotional competencies were also enhanced with mindful movement and meditation practice. (Nanthakumar, C. (2018).)

A prospective study published in the March issue of the journal The Lancet Psychiatry found that even light activity — and a corresponding decrease in the amount of time that kids spent being sedentary — was linked to better mental health as they got older.
