MIndful Moving

The comprehensive discipline of yoga provides two essentials for children and teens: Emotional nourishment and physical fitness.   Creating calm and balanced minds while building strong and flexible bodies.  


Aside from the physical benefits, yoga teaches children and teens techniques for coping with the unique issues they're faced with everyday—insecurity about their changing bodies, the enormous pressure to fit in, stressful schedules, and uncertainty about their beliefs and their futures.


Yoga is rooted in mindfulness – becoming aware of our physical self through movement, while merging mind and body to the present moment. The practice enhances self-awareness, compassion, attention, creativity and empathy. It provides the skills to be calm, resilient, and grounded – forming the foundation to better connect with our inner-world and our surroundings. 


Numerous studies have demonstrated the efficiency and benefits of yoga for children and teens - including special needs kids.  Proving yoga’s positive impact on education, public behavior, psychosocial well being, and violence prevention.  For a few research studies visit: Huffington Post or Bent on Learning Research.


“While we try to teach our children all about life, Our children teach us what life is all about.”  ~Angela Schwindt
