Yoga for Kids

This welcoming practice introduces children to yoga teaching flexibility and strength as well as self-soothing breathing techniques. Practicing yoga poses encourages children to clear their mind and focus, building self-confidence and coordination while teaching respect for self and others. This focus translates to the ability to act and behave mindfully and with compassion, to be brave, to know happiness and to find an inner peace. While building strength, lengthening muscles, increasing balance and learning to listen to the breath, students will also develop techniques to handle stress.
Please bring a yoga mat, optional blocks and yoga strap as well as an optional journal and writing utensil.
