Yoga could help youngsters learn more

Sir Anthony Seldon (62), the ex-Master of Wellington College, Berkshire, had introduced yoga and mindfulness at the school, as he believed that youngsters learn more when they are “calm and focused”.

The ex-Master was in charge of the Berkshire public school from 2006 to 2015; his views, however, were not instantly approved.

While being on air for Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, Sir Anthony said, “Wellbeing... is about helping us to live smarter lives. Young people learn much better when they're calmer. When they started getting hold of that [the parents] started liking it.”

With the chaos and hectic lifestyle in Britain, calm and mindfulness is much needed in order to help children develop more at a stress-free pace.
