Mind Body Connection
Yoga and Mindfulness classes offer an innovative, safe environment that encourages self-acceptance, fun and peace. These practices help with self-regulation, mind-body awareness, and the ability to focus and calm our minds and are proven to reduce stress and anxiety. Minds seem to never turn off these days which leads to more anxious thoughts, anger and perfectionism. Leaping from one thing to another, our children’s minds are never left to rest but Yoga and Mindfulness provide space to slow and settle. When children can learn how to relax and be still, they have incredible mental strength, enabling them to handle the stressors and pressures in today’s world.
