Our program re-establishes the disconnect between the body and the mind. Physical and mental health are much more connected than many people realize.
Programs like ours focus on similar Social skills but neglect the connection between the body and mind that enables meaningful learning and change in behaviour. All of our activities, tools and challenges connect both physical and emotional learning to provide a hands-on experiential approach that is more meaningful to children.
Our 10+ years experience in teaching children’s yoga brings all of these benefits to every session:
* Yoga naturally produces serotonin, (the happy chemical) that contributes to feelings of wellbeing and happiness. This natural mood stabiliser and has been associated with helping regulate anxiety and stress.
* Regular yoga practice teaches deep focus and mindful breathing, two important elements helping improve mental health
* Kids can better focus on the present, clear their mind and strengthen the mind-body connection.
* Mental endurance and physical stamina are tested through holding postures through extended breaths. This increases endurance, strength and flexibility.
* It helps modulate the stress response, reducing heart rate, lowering blood pressure and easing respiration.
