About Kids Yoga

Mum and Son Yoga Just Kids yoga teaches children to explore and have fun with yoga. It introduces an eclectic yoga practice with creative activities to stimulate a child’s imagination, coupled with play. Children are innately flexible; they love to engage all their senses and explore freely with their mind, body and spirit.

The Just Kids yoga program encourages the development of children’s:

Balance and coordination
Inner-strength, confidence and Self-esteem
Body awareness
Relaxation and breathing skills
Concentration and focus
Creativity and imagination

What happens in a class?

All programs are designed for the specific age group of children attending the class with postures taught accordingly to keep the children interested. However, if you were to ‘poke your head in’ the door of a Just kids class you would see children;

Accessing yoga poses in a child-friendly and fun way by imitating the way animals move and of course the noises they make!
Playing percussion instruments while walking in kooky and rhythmic ways.
Weaving stories with both their bodies and minds.
Counting and singing songs.
Putting stuffed animals on their bellies to act as breathing buddies to gain skills in using the breath.
Playing games.
Working together with a partner or as a group.
Developing relaxation skills
And much more
