What are the Benefits of Yoga for Children?
Yoga for children is a natural way to exercise, relax, focus and strengthen the body/mind connection. Studies show that yoga is an effective self-help therapy for ADD/ADHD, Autism and general health and well-being of ALL children.
According to research presented at the 2007 Symposium on Yoga Therapy and Research (SYTAR), children who practice yoga have more energy, are better at regulating their emotions and managing stress, and have more self-esteem.
In Lisa's class, your child will be learning how to apply the many benefits of yoga to their lives.
We have fun and do yoga to adventure stories (for the little ones), we stretch, we learn to be grateful, we build our self-esteem, we increase stamina, improve immunity, have greater balance and flexibility, improve our muscle strength and posture, have greater health and wellbeing, reduce stress and anxiety, learn how to breathe deeply and learn how to just BE.
Bookings and enquiries can be made by emailing Lisa or via mobile on 0438 555 847.
Namaste, have a great yoga day!
