Mrs. Erb’s classes at Sachem East recently participated in a Fall Yoga Seminar centered on the theme of “Letting Go.” 

The seminar encouraged students to reflect on personal challenges such as stress, overthinking, and insecurities, and to explore ways to release these barriers to make room for more positive aspects of life.

The session began with a collaborative brainstorming activity where students identified specific issues they wished to let go of. This exercise provided a safe and supportive environment for open sharing, self-awareness, and reflection. By acknowledging these emotions and habits, students learned how mindfulness and yoga can be used as tools to release negativity and promote emotional well-being.

Following the discussion, students participated in a restorative yoga practice designed to reinforce the theme. Through poses that encouraged relaxation and renewal, participants worked on both their physical flexibility and mental clarity.

The seminar not only highlighted the importance of mental and emotional health but also demonstrated how yoga can foster a more balanced and resilient mindset. By integrating mindfulness and self-reflection into their practice, students are learning valuable skills to navigate both academic and personal challenges with greater ease and positivity.
