Yoga Classes for Kids & Teenagers
Happy | Confident | Calm
Yoga classes for Kids and Teenagers are an excellent choice of after school activity
Some benefits of yoga are felt immediately, some come with practice over time. As children develop their yoga practice we see them begin to draw their yoga skills into their everyday life and yoga positive influences their experiences as they grow.
People come to yoga for many reasons. Some of the reasons our parents bring their children to yoga are:
- To enhance physical development: building core strength and muscle tone, flexibility, balance and coordination in a friendly and non-competitive environment
- To combat anxiety and depression, stress, emotional outbursts & low self-confidence
- To improve focus
- To help them sleep better
- To build inner strength, resilience and a positive attitude towards life
- To develop inner peace, stillness and mindfulness which flows outwards as kindness and thoughtfulness towards others
- To have fun and make great new friends

Teenagers Yoga Classes
Yoga Class for high school students
A fantastic class of Pre-Teen and Teen aged kids where every student develops to become a valued member of wholesome community of GREAT friends.
Yoga enhances positive social and emotional development at what can be a tumultuous time. As we nurture development of a strong sense of self, students develop an invaluable tool box for improved focus, emotional balance and deep relaxation during stressful times.
Through physical practice (yoga postures) students maintain suppleness, mobility and coordination as their bodies rapidly grow. They build self confidence in their physical capabilities and maintain strength of body which becomes also, strength of character.
We aim to develop in this age group a level of self love and self respect that leads to them making empowered choices as they navigate the various pressures of High School.
Suitable for kids aged between 11 and 17 who will thrive in a safe and non-competitive environment where they are gently challenged and held to their true potential.

Frequently
Asked
Questions
Q. What should they wear?
A. As long as they are comfortable and can move freely it doesn’t matter. Leggings or shorts and a T-shirt are the most common attire. We practice bare foot so no stockings and skirts please.
Q. What do they need to bring?
A. A yoga mat, and a water bottle. We have everything else they need at the studio.
Q. Can my child join a class when they are not within the age range of that class?
A. It depends on the child. Some children will show signs of being ready for an older class and when they do we will move them up. We understand that it is convenient for siblings to practice together but classes are programmed specifically for the age group lsited. Children too young may feel left behind and frustrated if they can’t keep up, children older very quickly become bored when the program doesn’t match their maturity. If you feel your child would be better in a different age bracket we are open to discussion.
