Kids Yoga Series by SOMAYOKE
Yoga offers delightful gifts to children. Children and tweens who nurture a regular Yoga practice learn to use breath, movement, and relaxation to soothe a tensed nervous system from the pressures of modern-day living.
Through games, breathing exercises, songs, movement and poses, meditation, art, storytelling, journaling and sharing circles, yoga frees our kids and teens from daily anxieties, frustrations, and worries. At the same time, our children pick up tools to enhance their attention, concentration, listening and learning in school.
Kids Yoga at The Yoga House facilitates a space for our children of all ages to practise grounding and calm in their mind and body. Kids also learn to build strength and mind-body awareness, which is key as they develop a sense of self and their understanding of the world around them. Immersed in themes such as Love, Kindness, Compassion and Courage, these classes aim at deepening children and tweens' relationships with themselves and others.
