Join us at the Main Library for a fun\, engaging yoga class with \;Busy Minds Education. \;
\nPracticing yoga is important for kids for many of the same reason s it is important for adults. Yoga helps \;to relax\, relieve stress a nd anxiety\, sleep better\, improve emotional regulation\, increase empath y\, and \;improve mood and affect. Practicing yoga with kids also teac hes them how to be more mindful\, which happens to be just one of \;th e many ways in which we can teach mindfulness to kids.
\nFor childre n in this age group\, stress is something they are only just learning abou t\, and they often don&rsquo\;t \;know what it is or how to handle it. It is up to us to provide them with effective and appropriate tools to&nb sp\;help them manage their emotions.
\nOther benefits of yoga for th is age group (and any age for that matter) includes the following and is n ot \;limited to: Improving memory and cognitive function\, improving s leep\, strength and breathing\, and \;improving self-regulation\, dete rmination and perseverance.
