Benefits to children:
In our fast paced world it assists children to calm their thoughts,
centre themselves for learning and learn how to ‘just be still’ for a
moment. This will assist children in
focusing their minds for the day and will give children skills for life- long
learning and stress reduction.
Yoga, perceptual motor skills and fundamental movement
skills give children greater awareness of their body, their physical strength,
balance, flexibility, better blood flow and breathing.
Yoga can be tailored to individual learning styles and along
with movement activities (perceptual and sensory) help to activate the brain
and coordinate the body and the brain together.
This in turn supports later reading skills, thinking skills and hand-eye
coordination for writing skills.
The creative side of children can come to life as they
pretend to be animals and natural living things.
Children become more confident and benefit from a
non-competitive form of fitness and well-being.
