Yoga for Children

Yoga for Children classes are for ages 5-12.

​

Nowadays, when anxiety and poor postural habits seem to affect most of us, including children, making yoga accessible to the little ones is even more pertinent. Children are naturally quick, curious and eager to learn and that's why kids yoga classes are dynamic, varied, full of adventures! We use play and imagination to explore and learn yoga poses that improve posture, flexibility, strength, balance and coordination, and help children feel good in their body and mind. Yoga is non-competitive and helps develop social skills, concentration, confidence and, above all, kids yoga is fun!

How are Children yoga classes?

 

We start a kid's yoga class seated on the floor or standing still to gather everyone. We warm up by jumping or running on the spot, activating our legs and arms, and developing coordination. We explore our body parts and find other ways of moving our bodies and moving in space, learning yoga standing poses, poses on our backs, on our bellies, new poses every time!

 
Children are divided into groups according to their age.

Classes for younger kids (ages 5– 9)  - children learn different yoga poses through game and play. They are encouraged to interact and trust each other through partner and group poses.

Classes for older kids (ages 10 – 12) - active and dynamic, these classes are structured more similarly to an adult class, including movement sequences alongside quieter poses, as well as more inversions.

All classes end with a restful guided relaxation.
