The benefits of yoga, when practiced consistantly, extends
well beyond the class and into life. As a growing person, your
child will learn body awareness, proper breathing techniques,
and meditation.
Yoga asanas (postures) help strengthen your childs body awareness.

upon your childs natural gifts, agility and enthusiam, while
helping them understand their limits; preventing injury and
overstretching.

and self love and acceptance.

skills, listening skills, and compassion for your childs body
and each others; is with partner yoga. Partner asana exercises
help children communicate, not only with words but also their
body's. They learn to listen and be intuitive, empathic, and
