We all want students to succeed in academics, reading, writing, mathematics, etc. so traditionally we take the direct approach. We put more and more emphasis on pushing our students to learn. For some, this has worked, yet for many it has not worked. We have not taught our students the tools or techniques to increase their learning capacity.

In classrooms, we often see that students are not able to focus on academics because of stress which is expressed in different ways: acting out, attention-seeking, depression, anxiety, fatigue due to lack of proper sleep, poor attendance etc… Through YES!’s stress-relieving techniques, students feel calmer and more alert. A state of calmness and alertness is the ideal state in which to learn because the mind becomes receptive to new information.
