Yoga twice a week for every student. Karate as an elective with formal belt progression. Both taught by certified instructors with years of experience working with children.
All Classes · Twice a week
Asanas, breathing practices, simple meditation. Calms a child's nervous system, improves posture and concentration, and gives them a tool they will keep for life.
Class II – X · Elective
Shotokan karate with formal grading. Builds discipline, courage, self-defence skill, and the deep self-confidence that only comes from physical mastery.
The two practices balance each other beautifully. Yoga teaches stillness, breath and inwardness. Karate teaches movement, focus and outward power. Together, they shape a child who is neither anxious nor aggressive, just present.
Our karate students have brought home medals from district and state-level tournaments. Our yoga students have led demonstrations on International Yoga Day for visiting dignitaries. Both speak of the same school.
Three practices that hold up the rest of a Benchmark Academy education.
