There are many reasons why children should practice yoga.  Yoga is non-competitive and it helps children to better understand their body and mind. Through the use of games, art and stories the class is fun, energising, and helps to develop the imagination. The yoga poses help to improve coordination, strength, balance and flexibility. The movement and mindfulness helps to improve concentration, focus and can be very calming. Also, it creates a nice space to meet new friends and grow friendships.
