Yoga

Aged 2 to 3: Small children explore the world through their senses and are curious about unfamiliar objects and experiences. At this age it is highly important that the child feels emotionally and physically safe, so a “yoga playground” is the perfect space to satisfy a child’s natural curiosity and thirst for movement. Physical activities promote healthy development and during lessons children explore themselves through movement, FUN games, basic and easy yoga poses, songs and fairy-tales. Playful activities improve children’s co-ordination and gross motor skills and an increased vocabulary helps them to create more complex sentences.

Aged 4 to 6: At this age, children have wild imaginations and an infinite amount of energy. We therefore taken them on magical yoga journeys, with fun games, songs, dance and yoga poses. Children explore their bodies and their possibilities while also learning about different cultures, animals and respect for nature, themselves and others. Playful activities improve physical strength, co-ordination, flexibility and creativity. Children will also learn how to be aware of and control their breath. Breathing exercises boost concentration and assist them to stay in their yoga pose for a little longer. Each class is finished with a moment of relaxation.

Aged 7 to 9: At this age, children love challenges and they often want to show their achievements. We will practice more challenging poses and dynamic games, but the FUN and ‘magical’ aspects will remain throughout. The focus will be on co-ordination and balance. Moreover, children will increase their self-confidence through group cooperation and partner poses. Breathing exercises, deep relaxation and restorative poses will also form part of each class.

Aged 10 to 13: Lessons explore different concepts concerned with friendship, respect and self-confidence, as young people at this age want to be treated with respect and as equals. We will have FUN together! This group activity helps to release any tensions and worries about school. We will use many partner and acrobatic poses along with cooperative games. Relaxation techniques and meditation will provide them with a few precious few moments of silence and calm.

Pre-natal (from 2nd trimester / 14 weeks): No prior experience is required.
Yoga for pregnant women is a great way to relax and prepare for the miraculous transformation of the body, the new life cycle and listen to one’s emotional inner world. Soothing environment and gentle yoga poses have a positive impact on wellbeing during the pregnancy period, during which women experience profound changes. Yoga sessions will not only introduce techniques of deep and conscious breathing (pranayama) but will also reinforce the strength and elasticity of the muscles needed for childbirth. Yoga exercises (asanas) will strengthen the pelvic, back and abdominal muscles, improve blood circulation, and open the hips, all of which facilitate the birth process. During each meeting we will also practice meditation and use various breathing techniques to calm our minds and feel harmony and warmth in our hearts.
