Yoga for Children

The classes run for an 8-week session.

Children between the ages of four and ten enjoy making friends during group chats and partner poses. Through the use of yoga poses, songs, stories, and games, they practice accepting themselves and each other. They learn beginning concepts of proper breathing and mental focus. Children who practice yoga enjoy better concentration, self-esteem, and academic performance. Welkin YogaLife Institute has assisted many special needs children achieve measurable improvement in the variety of conditions presented in class. Please contact us to enquire about our Yoga for Children programs.

In these classes, children have fun with games, stories, and interactive play. They enjoy learning the poses that copy nature and animals, and breathing exercises that bring calm and finding quiet within themselves.

We have seen lovely outcomes with many children and empirical studies have proven how much children benefit emotionally and psychologically from yoga practice. Although there are individual differences between children, if your children enjoy practice, the benefits tend to be very noticeable.

Most parents enjoy the opportunity to drop off their children for the hour; however, parents who prefer to stay in the room are welcome to participate.
