1. Stress Relief: Pressure is a normal element of our kids’ lives. School, homework, competitive sports, friends, lessons, and video games are all normal parts of their everyday lives, but they each add an element anxiety that can have a negative effect on our kids’ wellbeing. Yoga provides relief by asking children to concentrate on one thing at a time, to be in one place at a time and to celebrate simple accomplishments in that space.

2. Self-esteem: Non-judgement is a basic principles of yoga. Children need the time and space to practice being in ok with what is happening in the moment. There are no worries here about getting it right, making it better, and making comparisons.

3. Relaxation: Simple breathing practices can make a world of difference at any age! The key to self-control and acceptance is a gift that will last a lifetime.

4. Physical benefits: strength, coordination and flexibility. Children will play in an environment that is non-competitive and connect with their inner self.

5. It’s fun! Experiencing the pride and confidence of a lion, the playfulness of a dog, the beauty of dancer and the freedom of an airplane with your own body helps kids explore a range of emotions and may even bring on a few giggles.
