YOGA Therapy

Yoga teaches children at a young age to cultivate a healthy mind and body.  Improving physical health and providing an outlet for energy is a direct benefit of yoga.  This can include improving fine & gross motor abilities, as well as improving balance and coordination. When practiced regularly, yoga has also shown to steadily increase strength and flexibility in school-age children.  Learning to regulate breath and returning to the present, is directly linked to helping children learn to regulate their emotions and the mind.  While mindful breathing doesn’t solve all frustrations, it teaches students to thoughtfully, rather than impulsively, slow down and take a moment to process their emotions. Research also shows that along with improved focus, a yoga practice fosters self-esteem and reduces anxiety and stress in children. Yoga is great for the classroom as it is non-competitive and all-inclusive.  Yoga teaches discipline and reduces impulsivity.  Yoga has been shown to increase the effectiveness of immune responses suggesting better sleep and prevention of illness.
