Students from 21 secondary schools in Guadalajara will be learning yoga in a new program developed by the Jalisco state government in conjunction with the Federación Mexicana de Yoga Deportivo, whose members will lead the classes.
The underlying aim of the program is to help “eradicate violence and develop a culture of peace,” notes the Secretaría de Educación Jalisco (SEJ). More than 21,000 students will benefit from the program.
