Yoga is for everyone - you're never too young (or too old) to start. Kids yoga classes are a wonderful way to increase children's co-ordination, self-awareness, confidence and self esteem while they stretch and strengthen their bodies. Using yoga, children can learn to relax, concentrate and be gentle in a fun and creative environment.

There is a wealth of research on the benefits of yoga and meditation for young people. This includes its impact on development of young minds, physical development and its impact on relaxation and calmness. They include:
