Yoga for Children

Children’s yoga can look very different from adult yoga because children play at yoga. Stories, songs, games, even a little healthy competition is all part of children’s yoga. Children get happy, centered, relaxed, and focused when they practice yoga regularly. Teachers and parents often tell me that they see immediate positive results from even one session of children’s yoga. In this series of classes, you will learn enough about children’s yoga to get started, or if you already teach children's yoga, you will gain new understanding and new tools. You will also be empowered to use your own sense of intuitive creativity to bring out the best in children.
