Kids Yoga
Yoga For Everyone's unique approach in teaching children yoga is by using integrative learning that uses yoga as a pathway. Reading, storytelling, music, creative arts and earthcare blend seamlessly with yoga movement to educate the "whole" child. Yoga For Everyone's curriculum provides children with an exciting new way to explore and appreciate their academic and creative potential. Children learn invaluable skills that set the groundwork for meeting challenges and growing strong physically, mentally and emotionally, cultivating self-esteem for a lifetime of successful achievement.
In Yoga For Everyone's childrens classes, traditional yoga techniques have been recreated in playful, simple and fun ways. Using the Multiple Intelligences Theory of Harvard educator Howard Gardner as a foundation, each pose becomes a springboard for activities that open the doorway to fully integrated learning.
Why is Yoga for Children So Important?
Children today are under a tremendous amount of stress from school, their environment, peer competition and expectations from the media. Stress affects the way children learn and interact with their surroundings. It affects their health, well-being and confidence. Yoga For Everyone's program creates the ultimate learning adventure while helping youths de-stress and relax.
What's a Typical Class?
Yoga For Everyone's teachers warmly greet the children, inviting them to play and learn. The style and pace of our children's classes address the natural interests, needs and rhythms of children. They stretch, breathe, relax and enjoy the many benefits of yoga in fun and playful ways! They engage in active, inspiring class activities and are guided slowly to a place of quiet and relaxation. The end result: They feel great!
