The emphasis for Youth Yoga Classes is on FUN and promoting well-being. While having a good time each participant will be improving their flexibility, strength, balance, focus, concentration, imagination and will learn ways to manage stress in a safe, non-competitive environment. Classes will consist of age appropriate and engaging warm ups, breathing techniques, yoga poses, story time and fables, yoga games, mindfulness, visualisation, meditation and relaxation.
The act of practicing yoga poses encourages children to clear their minds and focus on the effort. As a result of this focus to achieve a particular pose or stay balanced, yoga helps children to improve their focus and concentration which is very beneficial to the student in the school setting.
Students who participate in yoga and meditation reap numerous and amazing benefits that in a classroom setting will lead to a happier, more harmonious and calmer atmosphere.
Incorporating yoga into your school's P.E. Programme will help in achieving The Active School Blue Flag and/or The Mental Health, Amber Flag.
