children are great imitators. give them something to imitate.

The greatest gift Yoga bestows to children is its devotion to encouraging positive self-image, body awareness, coordination, flexibility and strength in a physical manner that is non-competitive and that inspires cooperation, compassion and a deep connection with oneself and the natural world that surrounds them.

Presenting yoga in a child’s language can bring them enormous benefits so that they can counter the stress they experience living in a “hurry-up’ed” world. They learn techniques for concentration, self-regulation, relaxation, positive self-esteem and inner fulfillment giving them healthy tools to use when dealing with life’s pressures. 

When you learn the benefits of teaching yoga to children you become a facilitator that will guide your students while simultaneously opening your heart and letting them guide you.  undoubtedly they will invite you into a boundless world of exploration and wonder.  When you join them, the process will be continually reciprocal and provide an opportunity for everyone to create, express themselves, and grow together.
