YOGA is a fun way for children to develop a variety of important skills in a nurturing, non-competitive
environment. Group and partner games, self-expression and creativity are the norm in a children’s yoga class. Stories, songs, games and poses creates a multi-sensory environment, where children develop through kinesthetic, visual, and aural learning.

In children’s YOGA classes there is a complete absence of judgment and competition; doing a pose ‘perfectly’ or better than another is not the aim of yoga. Through yoga, children learn valuable verbal and non-verbal communication skills, and become increasingly aware of the interconnectedness and interdependence of all beings; an understanding that is essential for a healthy social life.

YOGA creates a nourishing environment, allowing children to relax and have fun whilst developing strength, coordination, flexibility and balance, as well as increasing body awareness, concentration and self-esteem. Whilst also learning skills to listen carefully to the body as method to avoid injury. Yoga has been proved to significantly increases overall fitness and academic performance, and decrease discipline problems.

YOGA is much more than yoga poses; it is a way to discover our bodies and more broadly, our inner world. As human-beings, we experience the world through our senses, mind and our hearts, so being able to consciously relax, uplift and focus ourselves are vital abilities. This skill also makes it easier to be self-reflective and make good choices when dealing with peer pressure as well as the modern day academic and social pressures.
