Yoga isn't just for Adults

2011 gave me a wonderful opportunity to teach Pretzel Kids Yoga classes in my studio to children ages 18 months - 8 years old. Yoga isn't just for adults! We forget that our children live in a fast-paced,over structured world and face daunting challenges at school, home and with their peers. In addition they may experience difficulty dealing with their ever - changing bodies and emotions. So what do they do when the pressures get to great? They plug themselves into the computer, itouch, or ipod. As a result, there is an increase in obesity secondary to lack of movement, lack of face to face social skills, and less optimal emotional health are just to name of few issues . 

Through yoga, children will learn self care tools, relaxation and breathing techniques; they will gain physical and mental strength and flexiblity all while having fun with their peers. So give your children the gift of yoga!
