This is an exciting time for your young yogi to learn life skills such as breathing and relaxation techniques; as well how to do yoga poses with more accuracy and understanding. In this class we have to opportunity to work with community building activities that promote acceptance and help friendships to blossom, at the same time promoting self acceptance and love.
Ages 10+ Children this age are at such a crossroads. There are many social and emotional challenges. In this class we will focus on healthy self image and give them tools for dealing with the high levels of stress that many of these busy children face. We will touch on some yoga philosophy that can help guide children as they begin to face difficult choices with their peers. This can be a very awkward and self critical stage of development.
