Students at The Goddard School® located in Ashburn VA, benefit from our daily yoga class provided for children ages infants to six.Teachers use the Apple Blossom Yoga guidelines, developed by the Yoga School, to augment cross-curricular learning through motor skills, science, math, language arts and social skills. Using nature, animals, and a little imagination, young learners gain improvements in focus, body awareness and control, balance, creativity and flexibility.
• The program is designed to educate the “whole” child through age-appropriate activities to enhance the emotional, social, intellectual and physical development of each child.
• Regular yoga practice helps children become more aware of their inner selves which can help them learn to release anger, frustration and fears.
Having children practice yoga is becoming an increasingly popular trend. Like adults, many expert feel that children do not get enough exercise and this can also lead to tension and stress. Yoga can offer the perfect solution to these issues.
Why is it important for kids?
Just like parents, children need to find balance and peace of mind. Since yoga is so successful with adults, a natural progression seems to be developing and adapting it for children through Yoga fitness exercises.
