Proven Health Benefits of Yoga for Children
In recent years, the specialised field of children’s yoga has recognised the impact of stress on children, the resulting negative health effects, and, more importantly, how to use yoga for stress relief. Yoga can empower children to manage increasingly common conditions such as asthma, obesity, ADD and ADHD, anxiety and depression. It provides tools that can assist in self regulation, behaviour management and build emotional resilience. Relaxation calms the nervous system, and breath awareness begins to still the mind, offering a moment of refuge, safety and stress relief.

The course exceeded my expectations in terms of content. Karen is inspirational and organised. She has provided me with so many resources and tools, and so much knowledge in teaching children, which gives me confidence to go out and start teaching. Truly grateful and feel blessed to have this experience
