Yoga For Kids is popping up everywhere but do you really know what the benefits are and why you should also be jumping on the yoga bandwagon with your little ones?
Yoga, when taught in an age appropriate manner, can assist children in developing life long skills that will encourage them to move their little bodies, free their minds and let their little spirits soar!
Our children live in a busy world full of pressures, chaos, video games, competitive sports and running from one activity to the next. These are often stressors in a child’s life and by incorporating yoga into their routines they can learn to manage and cope with the things that may show up in their lives.
