RYE UK - FOUNDATION MODULES
RYE uses simple yoga techniques - postures, breathing, relaxation and concentration in small amounts throughout the lesson to improve learning. These techniques help to unify the body with the mind, and create harmony within the classroom amongst peers and the teacher. The RYE techniques can be integrated into many situations, in the classroom, P.E. lessons, at home or as part of a yoga class.
A key part to all RYE training is to experience yoga for yourself and the benefits it brings. The Foundation Module and EURYE consists of regular yoga classes and relaxation so you can develop your own practice on a personal level, which helps you to deliver the techniques more confidently within the classroom.

Testimonials about RYE modules
I greatly enjoyed this module. I learnt more than
I had expected and I feel it has provided me with a fantastic insight
into how to make education holistic. It has improved my teaching and learning
practice, particularly within the early years, and I am looking forward
to continuing to use the techniques with my own class when I enter the
teaching profession in September 2009 as a newly qualified teacher.
Hannah Churchill, Primary and Early Years PGCE student,
Bath Spa University, RYE UK Foundation Module 2009
RYE embedded positive techniques into my planning
and practice and had a huge impact on how I taught. I loved the fact that
RYE was based on a particularly thoughtful and reflective approach to
education and focused on connecting emotionally to children. I was fully
committed to looking at education in a holistic manner but before RYE
was struggling with how I could achieve this in the mainstream education
system with its overriding emphasis on academic achievement. RYE has provided
an entrance point. I did feel that doing the RYE course made me a more
competent and confident teacher. I also feel it changed children's feelings
about how and what they learnt.
Yvette McLoughlin, Early Years PGCE student, Bath
Spa University, RYE UK Foundation Module 2009
The RYE approach to yoga in education empowers educators
to integrate simple practices that can be used at different times of the
day for different purposes within their classroom to improve learning.
The techniques are adaptable for a range of ages and educational settings
and can be used across the curriculum and throughout the school day.
