joy.
Leading
developmental
psychologists consider all forms
of play to be an integral part of a
child’s maturation.
Of course, the physical benefits
children receive from yoga are
endless. With their pliable joints
and naturally flexible muscles, a
safe yoga experience will allow for
exploration of their natural range
of motion through functional
movement with their own body
weight.
Creating a play-based yoga
program for children brings in the
benefits of yoga early on in life,
giving children the tools needed
to develop and maintain a healthy
relationship with their body, a
deeper understanding of their
emotions, and the opportunity to
welcome and feel joy throughout
their lives.
Possibly the best part is that we get
to do all sorts of fun activities like
dancing to music with a particular
dance move, or a friendly game of
“Yoga Freeze Tag” where all those
frozen must come in to a yoga
pose – a great way to incorporate
both touch and yoga!
