Bangalore, February 27, 2025: It is examination time and also the most stressful time of the year for teachers, students and parents alike. Students, particularly in middle and senior grades and also those preparing for competitive examination are awake till late in the night for their studies, with less sleep, which is also affecting their health.
A few institutes in Bengaluru are beating exam stress in a different way.
The management of The Green School Bangalore (TGSB) in Varthur is conducting deep meditation & yoga sessions by experts at their campus thrice a week.
” Deep breathing, pranayam and yoga sessions ensure that the mind of the teachers and students remain calm. These sessions also ensure that they get good sleep for at least 6 to 8 hours which ensures better retention,” apprises Usha Iyer, Founder & Principal The Green School Bangalore
“All these sessions are also open for parents to join. Most of the time we notice parents are the most stressed as they juggle their time for their children’s studies while being busy with their respective office. A lot of parents are also attending these meditation sessions with their children which is helping them,” adds Usha Iyer.
At Arjunaa Academy for Achievers, a coaching institute that is preparing students for JEE and NEET, they believe that stress is an inevitable part of competitive exams, but it’s how we manage it that matters.
Says Hareesh PK, CEO & Founder, Arjunaa Academy for Achievers. “We empower our students to deal with stress through meticulous planning, rigorous training, and enhancing their mental health and discipline through Meditation and Yoga. We educate our students and parents that the ultimate goal of preparing for JEE and NEET is not just about clearing the exams, but about developing problem-solving abilities and critical thinking skills that are valued by companies worldwide.
By adopting this holistic approach, Arjunaa Academy helps students convert stress into smile, and learn the art of handling pressure with pleasure.
Jai Nethala, father of middle schooler Sthuthi at TGSB, shared his experience, saying, “As a parent, I’ve always worried about my child’s academic performance, but these yoga and meditation sessions have helped me realize that a calm mind is just as important as good grades. When we practice together, I see a difference—not just in my child, but in myself too.”
