Why is YOGA great for ALL kids?
Yoga for the Athelete
Sports can be demanding on the body resulting in injuries, over-worked muscle groups, and tightness with in the body. Yoga is the perfect activity to help your child-athlete increase total body strength while regaining flexibility and joint range of motion.
Yoga for the Perfectionist
Yoga is the perfect activity for your child to channel their strong work ethic through a positive, nurturing activity. A key foundational concept to Yoga is to be the best person you can be while embracing & being honest with your true strengths & weaknesses, with being kind and forgiving to ourselves, and with out influence from the Ego.
Yoga for the Computer Fanatic----Super Student
Does your child spend their entire school day hunched over in a desk at school and a good portion of their evenings & weekends hunched over a computer at home? If so, your child is likely to already be experiencing stiffness & pain in their neck, shoulders, & spine as well as atrophy & limited range of motion in their leg & hip muscles. A well-rounded Yoga practice will bring strength back to your child’s spine and core, realign shoulder joints, and bring strength and movement back to our feet, legs, & hips.
Yoga for the Musician, Artist, or Video Gamer
Repetitive motions can create stressors on our bodies resulting in ailments such as carpel tunnel syndrome or tendonitis. Yoga can be a preventative and fun activity for your child to stretch & strengthen these over worked joints & muscles.
