Yoga helps strengthen children’s growing bodies and helps them improve their flexibility, which can reduce their chance of injury, as well as improve refined balance in kids. Poses that rely on balance promote mental clarity and physical stability, and also teaches perseverance. These one-hour practices include focus on breathing, mobility and relaxation. The result is a student ready to take on the evening with clarity and calm.
Mondays – 4-5 p.m.
