Yoga is a terrific experience
for children of all ages. Both physically demanding as well as mentally and
emotionally relaxing, yoga can help kids
excel in sports, focus on their homework, relieve stress (yes, kids have it
too!) and develop good social skills. Best of all, yoga encourages people to do
their best but not in a competitive way. It is suitable for all levels of
fitness and capabilities. |
|
|||||||||||||||||
| Young children (ages 3 - 5) enjoy connecting with their bodies, minds and breath though playful postures that are inspired by nature and animals such as slithering likes snakes, standing tall like trees and shining like the sun. We also sing lots of songs which encourages creative movement. Even the little ones as young as 3, can lie still for a few minutes in savasana at the end of a class which teaches them some self soothing skills. |
|
|||||||||||||||||
| With older children (ages 6 - 12), I encourage a deeper sense of body awareness and self exploration. We practice flowing sequences, balancing poses, breathing exercises and creative relaxation techniques. Partner poses and cooperative yoga games inspire positive peer interaction for all different shapes, ages and sizes. |
|
|||||||||||||||||
| Teenagers (12+) are capable of doing yoga just like adults however I like to make the poses relevant to a teen's daily life. For example, how you learn can become better aware of your posture, how do deal with cramps or PMS + how certain types of breathing can help to calm the body while preparing for a test. |
|
|||||||||||||||||
| Regardless of age, kids in my classes with me will: - gain strength, flexibility and balance with their physical bodies through poses (asanas) - learn both calming & energizing breathing techniques (through breathing and relaxation exercises) - have fun, within a non competitive environment fostering confidence, creativity, self awareness and focus. |
|
|||||||||||||||||
| I also have some aromatherapy and massage training so periodically I will incorporate partner + self massage into my sessions. This is a great way for kids to connect with their bodies. With the permission of the child's parent I aromatherapy blends for use during the class. This extra sensory component makes the class engaging and unique. The kids love it! |
|
|||||||||||||||||
| Again, with parental permission I often include a healthy snack that relates to yoga somehow. For example I might give out high fibre, low sugar (nut free) oatmeal cookies and make the connection between fibre in an oatmeal + why this is good for our bodies... and that part of yoga is not just stretching but about learning how to treat our bodies with honour and respect by making healthy food choices. |

Classes for younger kids generally range from 30 - 45 minutes and 45 mins - 1 hour in length, for the older ones. |
