YogaBugs

Yoga for Little People

Classes are designed for children 3 to 10 years old. They are led through creative stories and exciting adventures that stimulate their imagination and help to maintain their natural flexibility. While enjoying a variety of safe postures, the children learn breath and body awareness, play games and work together. The stories involve a wonderful combination of stretches, back arches, twists and balances. These combine to support and strengthen children, not only physically but also mentally by building confidence in themselves, improving their concentration and helping them to sleep better.

YogaBugs - The Benefits

Regular practice of YogaBugs should reap the following benefits for the children:

• Breathing exercises improve concentration and energy levels.
• Relaxation techniques clear the mind, allowing for better memory retention.
• Postures help recharge a weak immune system and strengthen the core stabilising muscles of the abdomen and back.
• Helps to tone the body and reduce the rising levels of childhood obesity.
• YogaBugs maintains a child's natural flexibility which can begin to shut down from a surprisingly young age, especially once they start on computer games and television.
• Develops creativity and self-expression.
• Yoga improves self-confidence through vocalisation techniques and postures that are designed to release day to day anxieties such as separation issues, or bullying, lethargy and negativity.
• YogaBugs is a complete form of exercise in a safe and non-competitive environment.
• The practice of yoga improves co-ordination and balance; it promotes healthy sleeping patterns and allows children to explore their intuitive nature and spirituality.
• YogaBugs is currently conducting a number of case studies into the long-term benefits for children.
