Yoga for Children: - Wed 2pm
Yoga Complements any dance class, sport or activity that your child is currently involved in. Its practice helps the develping child with balance as it stretches and tones all the muscles of the body. It is a very important tool for the prevention of injury.
Children's yoga classes are fun, vibrant and fast-paced. Children naturally respond to this noncompetitive form of exercise. We offer classes suitable for children of all ages and physical abilities.
Why yoga for children? Besides the obvious benefits of exercising the physical body, yoga sharpens the child's ability to focus, gives self-confidence, and develops self-discipline. And yoga, practiced regularly, helps children become aware of themselves from the inside. From this awareness, changes and growth in new and positive directions can blossom.
Yoga classes can help children with: ADD/ADHD, allergies, asthma, back aches, bronchitis, better grades, hyperactivity, insomnia, nervousness, scoliosis, and Asperger's Syndrome. Research shows that simple yogic breathing exercises increase test scores up to 84%.
Tumbling Tots-Tumbling Twos-Young Tumblers - Watch as the children discover their natural movement abilities. They are amazed at themselves! At this level children learn to discover the world of movement by crawling, climbing, swinging and tumbling for the first time. You'll be amazed at what a toddler can do. Toddlers usually make plenty of new friends, as the emphasis on most programs at this level is exploration of motion and the early development of social skills. Younger children can be easily distracted, so we keep the pace high with music and songs. Equipment that is introduced around the age of 2 includes the balance beam, tunnels and floor mats. the children will work on rolls, jumping, balance beams, and basic body positions (straddle, pike, tuck, etc...). For the older 3 and 4 year old, we actually begin teaching skills like cartwheels, handstands, and rolls.
Wonderland Wednesdays - Come play with music! Children can explore their creative side through dance, dramatic play, use of small props and their own ingenuity! The sky is the limit! Foster your childs inner awareness and build their confidence in a safe, unstructured environment perfect for exploring the amazing power of imagination within!
