About Us
Calgary Kids Yoga believes kids learn best when they have fun! In our groovy kids yoga classes, your child will experience yoga in a creative, expressive, collaborative environment. We explore yoga poses, relaxation and mind focusing techniques.
No previous experience or skills are required – we include all children and abilities. We know that every child can experience yoga at his or her own pace!
Benefits of yoga for kids:
-
relieves tension and stress
-
increases focus and concentration
-
promotes positive self-awareness
-
encourages self-regulation
-
non-competitive, inclusive activity creates a sense of community and cooperation with fellow mini yogis
Helpful hints for choosing a yoga class/teacher for your children:
-
ask if the teacher has successfully completed a kids yoga teacher training (check with the certifying organization if verification required)
-
ask if the teacher has had a background security check (through Calgary Police Services) and a vulnerable sector background check (through Calgary and Area Child and Family Services Authority)
-
most importantly, make sure the teacher is having fun with the students...when kids see the teacher having fun, they relax and engage for the best possible experience!
