Yoga for Children:
Yoga classes for children help to promote the healthy development of their minds and bodies. The
stretching and strengthening techniques used in yoga are an ideal way for children to grow flexible
and strong. More than this yoga teaches self-awareness, builds concentration, increases confidence
and self-image and provides a space for them to feel part of a healthy, non-competitive group. Yoga
also provides the opportunity to develop techniques that will serve them throughout their life in
managing stress and developing inner calm. Through a mixture of simple exercises, animal poses,
meditation and game playing a yoga class is fun and engaging.
