Yoga for children? Yes!

Why Yoga for children? Ten years ago, that question was most likely asked about martial arts. Now there are classes for children at martial arts studios around every corner.

Did you know martial arts originated from Yoga?

Yoga develops many wonderful qualities in children. Besides the obvious benefits of exercising the physical body, both Yoga and martial arts sharpen the child’s ability to focus, give self-confidence, and develop self-discipline. And Yoga, practiced regularly, helps children become aware of themselves from the inside out. From this awareness, changes and growth in new and positive directions can blossom.
