Warm wishes to all you wonderful Toddler Sense Parents.
Winter is closing in, the days are getting shorter and the first quarter of the year is over. Is it just me, or do the days and months just fly by in a speedy blur of getting things done in this crazy world we live in.
Have you ever thought about enrolling your little one in a Yoga class?
Yoga4kids is a life skill and movement program designed especially for children from age three right up to teenage years. Yoga helps children to balance their body, mind and heart. It teaches children how to go within themselves to find stillness and centredness. This practice also allows healing in the emotional body to take place and children grow in self love and confidence. These little souls learn about flexibility and focus, while having fun. There is also a consistent focus on breath-work in the class. Children learn how to breath correctly and to to take a moment to "download" and process the "busy-ness" of their little lives and the world around them.
Yoga is especially beneficial for those children who:
- have too much or too little energy
- battle to focus or concentrate for long periods of time
- struggle to fall asleep
- have breathing difficulties
- have dysfunctional sensory integration
- have low or high muscle tone
- have back problems
- have low self confidence
