Yoga is for Kids
'Yoga helps children see the beauty and light within themselves,
thereby boosting their self-confidence, allowing them to feel more
comfortable with their bodies, and helping them get in touch with who
they are inside. A child who learns yoga, mindfulness and relaxation
will be developing essential skills for a lifetime of health and wellness in
mind, body and spirit."
Today our hectic and stimulus rich culture pulls kids in many directions. Kids from all walks of life suffer from stress and anger issues, are overscheduled have attention and learning difficulties.
With the use of Yoga tools combined with stories and play parent and teachers can provide our kids with opportunities to grow physically mentally and emotionally, helping them to connect with themselves and others with compassion, understanding and clarity.
