Namaste Youth Yoga Class (10-12 Years)
In this yoga class children will build strength and flexibility with more physically challenging poses and sequences. Self-confidence, self-love and compassion for others are promoted and encouraged. Visualisation, meditation and breathing techniques are used to enhance focus, concentration and will help in any stressful situation. These techniques, once learned, can be used when needed day to day. Age-appropriate yoga games, partner poses or group poses are sometimes included in this class depending on the needs of the individuals in class.
Each class consists of settling in through breath work, mindfulness and meditation, engaging and age appropriate warm ups or sun salutations, fun and challenging yoga poses and a relaxation or visualisation. Children will soon know sun salutations, yoga poses, breathing techniques and meditations to practice at home.
Children should dress in comfortable clothing appropriate for ease of movement and also bring a bottle of water. Yoga mat and blanket will be provided.
