Anna Beatriz Niemeyer
Anna is currently a 17 year old who attends and lives at Saint Andrew’s during the school year but calls Brazil her home. Nutrition is of extreme importance when growing up and in a person’s formation as an individual as it will shape a person’s life depending on his or her food choices. She thinks it is important to teach people from an early age how to lead a proper, healthy lifestyle, what food choices they can make to avoid health issues later in life and how to feel good about themselves overall. Yoga is essential in a person’s life to feel centered and capable of dealing with what comes their way. Yoga is something she believes should be incorporated in a child’s education in order for him or her to learn how to get to a peaceful state of mind and ready to take on challenges, not to mention the physical benefits of keeping in shape, something essential to one’s physical health. Expanding this program to Brazil can really help the kids there as this information should be taught all around the world.
