A 28-session after school yoga program for kids, taught at Arts On Site on St. Marks Place. Movement through storytelling and breathing games for some stillness. Classes given by a certified Yoga Teacher who loves kids and has years of experience working with them.
Kids yoga offers a wonderful range of benefits that support children's physical, emotional, and social development.
Improved flexibility, balance, and coordination. It builds strength in a low-impact way, supports healthy posture, and helps children develop body awareness. For active kids, it can also be a calming counterbalance to high-energy sports.
Yoga teaches children breathing techniques and mindfulness skills that help them manage stress, anxiety, and big emotions. Over time, kids often develop better focus and concentration, which can carry over into schoolwork. It also nurtures self-regulation, the ability to pause and respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively.
Confidence tends to grow as children master new poses and see their own progress. Because yoga is noncompetitive, kids can explore at their own pace without the pressure of winning or losing, which makes it especially welcoming for children who shy away from team sports.
Social skills develop naturally in group classes, where kids practice taking turns, respecting shared space, and encouraging one another. Partner poses and group activities build cooperation and empathy.
The calming techniques learned in yoga, like deep breathing, guided relaxation, and body scans, give children practical tools for winding down at bedtime.
Yoga teaches kids that exercise doesn't have to be intense or competitive to be valuable. Having that mindset can support lifelong healthy habits.
