POWER YOGA

Power yoga is a class designed for students who love to work hard, but to work hard using mindful intention and full awareness of one’s body.

YOGA FOR KIDS – 9-16 YEARS; SIX-WEEK TUESDAY AFTERNOON MORNING SERIES:  
Yoga and children is a fabulous mix. In light of today's growing concerns about the risks of childhood obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, stress epidemics and eating disorders, arming our children with invaluable life skills is every parent's responsibility. Classes integrate more formal instruction with playful activities to challenge students in their yoga process as they learn postures and breathing exercises. Stress management techniques and meditation are also focused on. Children derive enormous benefits from yoga. Physically, it enhances their flexibility, strength, coordination, and body awareness. In addition, their concentration and sense of calmness and relaxation improves. Doing yoga, children exercise, play, connect more deeply with the inner self, and develop an intimate relationship with the natural world that surrounds them. Yoga brings that marvelous inner light that all children have to the surface.
