Children's Yoga
Children are like seeds which we have planted. We have to nourish them so
that they grow to be healthy, strong and loving people. Through Yoga and
Meditation we can guide our children through the fast paced world of today
offering them a way to cope with their problems and pressures today and
through the rest of their lives.
As parents we soon notice the beneficial affects that Yoga exercises and
Meditation have on the child. Their body becomes more flexible and stronger,
their mind becomes calmer and more alert and the child experiences a sense
of emotional well being. The child does not need to perform the Yoga
postures perfectly to achieve good results either. Each child differs in
flexibility and will improve at an individual pace with practice.
In our Yoga program children are encourage to use his/her imagination and
express their feelings and ideas clearly. Through visualization involving
nature and animals, stories, music and songs children use their imagination
in a creative way. Children are encouraged to explore their own body
movement by imitating different kinds of animals and objects with which they
are familiar and to use sound with movement imitating the sounds of
animals, etc. Most important is the child will experience no discomfort from
sore muscles.
In brief, Yoga can relax a nervous and tense child by loosening up their
muscles and allow the child to move more freely.
Yoga can stimulate the tired and wearisome child who cannot concentrate
well.
Yoga and proper diet will have a calming effect on a hyperactive child
Yoga encourages self expression in the shy, withdrawn child.
We welcome you to register your child up for our upcoming Children’s classes
and give them the opportunity to experience for themselves something new and
fun. Yoga can become a part of your child’s daily routine, and if you too like
to practice Yoga , it can become a fun and rewarding family activity. It is a
wonderful way of creating family togetherness.
