Ensuring yoga is accessible to children is more vital today to counter stress and anxiety and poor postural habits. It is a positive balance to those actively engaged in sport, including gymnastics and dance as well as suitable as an alternative for those who aren’t very physically active.
Yoga for children and teenagers helps develop flexibility, strength, stamina and self confidence as well as a quieter mind.
I have enjoyed teaching children since 2013 and teach a variety of regular classes during term time, on line as well as face-to-face. I teach in a local primary school from age seven to eleven and teenagers at Northfields Community Centre at at triyoga Ealing.
Between Since February 2021, I have been part of an initiative of Iyengar Yoga (UK) which offers free/discounted classes for teenagers taught by certified and experienced teachers. Look out for future classes/events.
