Yoga for Kids….it’s just simple fun while getting all the benefits at the same time! When kids practice yoga it allows them to learn life long healthy habits of tapping into their body, mind, and especially breath.

Yoga For Kids

Yoga teaches kids how to find calmness, focus, balance and relax the body. Stress impacts us both emotionally and physically.  When children have the outlet of yoga it can reduce stress through movement and focusing our thoughts and breath.  It’s a coping mechanism that teaches mindfulness.  While yoga can reduce stress, it has many more benefits such as helping kids build body awareness, promote fitness in a non-physical or non-competitive environment.

Kids yoga helps navigate life’s challenges with a little more ease!

What fun I had last week to lead Groovy Kids Yoga with a bunch of smart, creative, and determined little yogi’s! I started off the class with these questions:

1. Who has done kids yoga before?

• Brilliant Answers: Everyone raised their hand. I was happy to see that they had all had some experience in practicing yoga. Bringing yoga to children is going to support the next generation in supporting their ability to ground down, appreciate community, and be healthy.

2. Why is yoga good for you?

• Brilliant Answers:
  1. 4.5 year old- It makes you strong (as the arms were flexed when telling me this).
  2. 6 year old- It helps you be flexible.
  3. 10 year old- helps your muscles build strength
  Yes, those are all correct!
