Children's yoga is still yoga, but here the practice is built around play, singing and stories rather than a formal adult session. Each class typically includes a theme, a name game, a story, yoga poses, partner and group exercises, breathing exercises and relaxation.
Yoga supports children's joy in movement, imagination and play, and helps them feel more at home in their bodies. Along the way they build strength, balance and body awareness. The exercises also plant small seeds of tools for focusing, handling stress, getting to know themselves and finding calm. There is no competition: it is not about being the strongest, fastest or most flexible.
