Yoga

Yoga is not just for adults! In fact, it can give children very important life skills that can help them succeed in the world.  Yoga can have a positive impact on children’s well-being

• It helps children learn to be in the present moment while relaxing and gaining a peaceful state of mind, which ultimately improves their emotional regulation.

•  Yoga for kids can do wonders for their self-esteem. Perfecting a pose or improving their balance and flexibility can give young children a sense of personal empowerment.

• Going through a variety of yoga poses helps children learn about their bodies and the movements they’re capable of doing.

•  One of the top benefits of kids’ yoga is that the different types of moves requires children to focus and work on their memorization skills—both of which can translate over into their academic performance.

• Yoga helps strengthen children’s growing bodies and helps them improve their flexibility, which can reduce their chance of injury.

•  Yoga can reduce challenging behaviors in the classroom by providing a physical outlet for children to express themselves. It also teaches children about discipline as they work on clearing their minds and perfecting their poses.
