Why Yoga for children? Twenty 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 making the physical body strong and flexible, 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. Today's busy lifestyle is creating tremendous stress on children as well and is affecting their physical and mental health. Yoga can build resistance to disease and build stronger immune system and strong minds to counter the bullies inside and outside!
