CHILDREN'S YOGA
Children's Yoga
for our 2 to 4-year-olds
In our 2 year old rooms and pre-school rooms, we provide 30 minutes per room of Yoga. The children develop their listening skills and physical skills throughout the sessions.
The children are led through creative stories and exciting adventures that stimulate their imagination. The postures in these classes are used to help maintain their natural flexibility. Whilst enjoying a variety of safe postures, the children sing songs, play games and work together. The classes involve a wonderful combination of stretches, back arches, forward bends, twists and balances.
Yoga is a complete form of exercise in a safe and non-competitive environment. It is a particularly good way for children to exercise on rainy days and benefits both their mind through focusing on the breathing and visualisation techniques and their bodies through the posture work.
Yoga Benefits
for children when they take regular sessions:
Posture helps recharge a weak immune system and strengthen the core stabilising muscles of the abdomen and back.
Posture work helps to tone the body and reduce the rising levels of childhood obesity.
Yoga maintains a child's natural flexibility, which can begin to shut down from a surprisingly young age.
Classes develop creativity and self-expression, along with self-confidence through vocalisation techniques.
Certain yoga postures are designed to release day to day anxieties such as separation issues, lethargy and negativity.
Yoga improves co-ordination and balance. It promotes healthy sleeping patterns and allows children to explore their intuitive nature.
