21 Student Testimonials I have been a lot more happier lately... I feel like a better person, making better choices, and staying out of trouble. I used breathing outside the classroom in my life to calm me down if I was stressed or angry I would then do the breathing to calm me down and I will probably continue to do this I was less anxious about school in general... I didn t notice it at first but I noticed since I started yoga...in term 1 my science grade was a C, but last term I got a B, and this term I m pretty sure I have an A average right now. And I sort of feel like that s because of yoga, because I have science immediately after yoga. Yoga definitely helped with sleeping... it would take me a long time to get to sleep. When I was doing yoga it was much easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.
