WHAT IS MINDFULNESS FOR KIDS?

​

Mindfulness is a whole body-mind state of awareness that involves ‘tuning in’ to the present moment, with openness and curiosity, instead of ‘tuning out’ from experience. Mindfulness is a state of being fully awake to life – being aware and not distracted in the present moment. It is about focusing attention on the present, rather than thinking about the past or worrying about the future- which is often our brain’s default mode.

Mindful awareness is something that we all possess and that can be strengthened through practice. Mindfulness can be developed through formal sitting meditation practices, or through informal everyday mindfulness activities that use the senses to anchor the attention: such as mindful walking, listening to music, eating or conversation. Mindfulness is a clinically proven tool to support well being and mental health by reducing stress and allowing life to be experienced more fully.

 

WHAT IS KIDS YOGA?

In yoga, there is a pose for everything in the world, whether it is an animal, a tree, or an airplane, and we can do it with our body.

Yoga is a very ancient science that helps us to develop flexibility and strength in our bodies, and happiness and peace in our mind.

​

Children learn good posture, stretching, strengthening, breathing, positive-self talk and relaxation.

Children help co-create fun, non-competitive, explorative classes.

Yoga encourages harmonious personal relationships with others and the realization of self.

​

Yoga helps kids to:

  • Develop body awareness.

  • Learn how to use their bodies in a healthy way.

  • Manage stress through breathing, awareness, meditation and healthy movement.

  • Build concentration.

  • Increase their confidence and positive self-image.
