YOGA
Yoga is a fun way for children to develop important skills in a supportive, non-competitive environment. There is no judgement in a yoga class about how a child does a pose or plays a game. Doing a pose “perfectly” is not the aim of yoga, which nourishes a child’s inner strength and self acceptance. This nurturing atmosphere encourages children to relax and have fun while they develop not only strength, coordination, flexibility and balance, but also body awareness, better focus and concentration, and self confidence. All the kids yoga classes at Saltwater Studio are multi-sensory, interweaving stories, songs, games and poses, exploring kinesthetic, visual, aural, inter- and intra-personal learning. This makes kid’s yoga classes much more active and fun than adult classes!
