Benefits of Yoga for children

*Anyone can do yoga, regardless of their level of fitness or flexibility as postures can be modified to make them accessible to all.

 *Classes encourage interaction and creativity, improve self expression and use a child’s powerful imagination. 

 *Yoga helps to develop balance, stability and poise.
 It improves coordination and spatial awareness. *Breathing exercises increase concentration spans and energy levels. 

*Relaxation techniques still the mind, allowing for better memory retention. 

*Postures help recharge a weak immune system whilst strengthening the core stabilising muscles of the abdomen and back. 

*Yoga helps to tone the body and helps to achieve good posture, a strong spine and bones, supple muscles and healthier lungs. 

*Yoga maintains a child's natural flexibility which they can otherwise lose from a surprisingly young age – even those who play lots of sports can struggle to touch their toes. Yoga is a complement to other sporting activities and can be valuable in preventing sporting injuries. 

*Yoga improves self-confidence through vocalisation techniques and postures that are designed to release day to day anxieties such as separation issues, or bullying, lethargy and negativity. 

*Yoga is a complete form of exercise in a safe and non-competitive environment. It also benefits children with Special Educational Needs

* It is an inexpensive activity which requires a clean floor and a clear space.
