YOGA FOR ELEMENTARY AGE CHILDREN - (Special Needs Children Welcome)
(Tuesdays) 3:30-4:15 PM @ Bedford Town Hall
Spring Session: May 10, 17, & 24, 2016 (3 week session)
Yoga for children can improve behavior and focus, increase strength, flexibility, and balance, and promote self-regulation and self-esteem. Summit Yoga offers a yoga program for children in grades 1-6 at the Bedford Town Hall. Children learn the basic traditional poses in a playful format. This is an all inclusive class that cultivates learning without competition and judgment.
Laura Hughes, Manager of Summit Yoga in Mason, NH, has 21 years experience as a Special Needs Teacher/Coordinator and 14 years teaching yoga to children. In Laura’s children’s yoga program, children have the opportunity to be creative, to be themselves and to learn their physical strength through poses. They will learn tools to focus visual and auditory attention and to calm physical energy through breathing exercises and centering activities. All while having fun! They’ll learn when their bodies need low energy activities to balance the high energy activities of their school and sports day. What a great holiday gift for your child!!
Children with Special Needs are welcome.
