Yoga in Schools

Yoga is an inner & outer massage helping one to enhance awareness,

achieve flexibility, balance the body & feel good. 

This noncompetitive form of exercise creates rejuvenation to the body helping

 children to physically unwind from a long day of doing school work.

Yoga is a wonderful tool to harmonize the mind, body & spirit & an opportunity

to do something different in a structured environment while

stretching the body & expanding the mind.

This ancient practice allows the children to “sense the self” mentally & physically

 letting go of stress embracing relaxation.  Self renewal is achieved through

yoga postures, breathing techniques, chanting, meditation & deep relaxation

allowing children to be present.

Practicing yoga lets children be aware of personal expression & exploration while

 fully in the moment experiencing the self.  Being present is the gift.
