children's yoga

children’s yoga classes are fun and imaginative, helping create the perfect physical, mental and emotional environment for children to grow and develop. All classes have elements of yoga postures, breathing and relaxation which help to create a strong and flexible body, concentration, self confidence and overall calmness. The key to a children’s yoga class is that it is delivered in a fun, creative and stimulating manner.

benefits of Children's yoga are:

• Promotes self-esteem and a positive self image in a non-competitive safe and fun environment.
• Children are naturally flexible and agile and yoga helps maintain these physical qualities.
• The bending and twisting motions of the postures help massage internal organs sending fresh blood along the spinal column helping to release physical and emotional tension.
• Balance the strength and flexibility of a child.
  Yoga helps create a healthy spine which in turn helps digestion, breathing and concentration.
• If a child spends time doing yoga it will help counteract the time they spend watching tv and sitting at a desk and computer.
• Yoga helps teach children to breathe naturally and fully allowing them to calm their mind, unblock emotions and help with any breathing difficulties.
• Concentration and visualization exercises help children to learn to sit still, get in touch with their inner selves, focus their minds and avoid outside distractions so that they enjoy the present moment.
• Yoga helps to balance the logical and rational left side of the brain with the more creative, intuitive and imaginative right side.
