In our fast pace life, children are experiencing an increase time spent in technology, homework and social media as well as a short or decrease time for recess in school. 

Bringing yoga, games and activities to children will help children engage with one another in a fun , healthy and non-competitive way. 

When children practice yoga and engage in games something special happens. They are most likely unaware that its happening but the yoga poses, mindfulness activities and games they play provides them crucial skills and behaviors that they will carry throughout life.

Yoga is more than allowing children to be active or to get their wiggles out. An engaging Yoga class has a centering effect on children and builds their confidence from the inside out. 

The emphasis is not reaching the end but bringing joy and wholesomeness to the practice or the process.

In each game and each giggle , children personalities comes out and they experience different and varied emotions within themselves and with others. With adults telling them what to do all day long, yoga poses with games and activities helps children to feel confident. They learn how to manage their emotions through breathing exercises, mindfulness activities and yoga poses that helps them stretch and tone their body that inadvertently will help them to feel strong and healthy.
