I am excited to be starting this blog site to help communicate about the wonderful benefits of yoga for children!! As a former teacher and child care center director, I know the importance of a balanced approach to education. Our world can be a stressful place for children. Demands placed on kids today are tougher and expectations are higher.
Through yoga, children can develop self control, confidence and focus. Breathing practice helps them learn to relax, control anger and anxiety and "gears up" their brains for learning. The yoga programs also help kids develop physically. Strength, stamina, flexibility, balance and coordination are just some of the benefits kids will gain. We also love to play!! Stretching our imaginations and creativity as well as our bodies through yoga games, activities and poses. Storytime yoga is especially good for this as children become a part of the stories.
