Parents and children who practice yoga:
• Learn to relax and sleep better.
• Cope with life stressors more effectively.
• Improve self-esteem.
• Increase focus, concentration and attention span.
• Develop strong, limber and healthy bodies.
• Discover a sense of awareness and respect for
   themselves, others and the world around them.
• Develop creative expression and imagination.

Children are often under a tremendous amount of stress from school, family losses, and peer competition. Stress affects the way children learn and interact with their surroundings. It affects their health, well-being and confidence. 80% of learning difficulties are related to stress. Lesson the stress and you lesson the difficulties.

Through active, inspiring class activities parents and children will learn to de-stress and find creative new ways to face life’s challenges.

This is a unique approach that integrates creative learning using yoga as a pathway – Reading, Storytelling, Music, Creative Arts, and Earthcare blend seamlessly with yoga movement. Classes integrate the Multiple Intelligence described by Howard Gardner: linguistic, logical/mathematical, visual/spatial, musical, kinesthetic/body, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic. Anxiety is the crippler of all intelligences.

“The development of the mind comes through movement.”
- Maria Montessori

We are never too old to enjoy the benefits of play! When our bodies are playing our minds and hearts are healing; the tensions held in the body let go spontaneously.
