Yoga helps kids to relax, relieve stress and anxiety, sleep better, improve emotional regulation, increase empathy, and improve mood.
Yoga and meditation incorporates breathing and movement which also helps to slow the parasympathetic nervous system yet increase strength, flexibility and mindfulness. It helps children to regulate their emotions, reduce anxiety, boosts self esteem, increases body awareness, enhances concentration, provides them with an opportunity to express themselves, encourages openness about emotions and allows acceptance of all emotions including strong ones that are sometimes perceived as negative because we all have them and I encourage acceptance of this and provide tools in which the children can deal with them in a positive way.
Rainbow Park Yoga teaches children form 18 months to 18 years and their families.
"Millie loved it and already looking forward to next week"
"Gill is absolutely brilliant with the kids! So much is put into her sessions with the children and techniques are taught in such a way that children are engaged and remember the various poses etc later. Mindfulness and relaxation techniques are invaluable to kids and Gill complete gets this! Highly recommended"
