Conscious Kids Yoga Play
(Ages 6-10)
Explore, Imagine, Create! Yoga is a fun and creative way for children to explore the capabilities of the mind, body and spirit. It provides a creative and constructive release for their abounding energy and teaches them how to focus, relax and calm their minds. Most of all, children are challenged and have a great deal of fun practicing yoga! Yoga engages children by addressing all styles of learning while stimulating their conscious minds to think differently and outside the box. Children’s imaginations are cultivated and challenged through yoga inspired games, games that encourage focus, memory and physical fitness as well as body awareness. All of these things are imperative to a child’s development and to successfully navigate the world in which they live. All levels are welcome.
