Yoga For Youth
It is my hope to share yoga and its benefits with children in a way that awakens their curiosity, strengthens their minds and bodies, and empowers them to be the best they can be!
Benefits of Yoga & Mindfulness
Children today have more pressure than ever! Between school, home and other activities, they sometimes lose the ability to just be kids. A regular yoga and mindfulness practice helps children finds ways to ease their pressures and allows them to find themselves in a non-competitive atmosphere. Some benefits that children of all ages and abilities can obtain from regular yoga practice are inclusive of the same mind/body benefits that adults achieve.
