Hi wonderful yogis, yoginis, and little yogis! I thought I'd let you know about a family yoga class and kids' yoga teacher training this weekend. It's being held at JennYoga and would be a fun way to spend the holiday weekend with the kiddos. Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

Yoga is an egalitarian practice, bestowing its benefits on every practitioner, regardless of his or her physical abilities. Yoga postures, or asanas, are practiced by people of all ages and in many different states of health and fitness. Practitioners have been long been attesting to the benefits of yoga including stress and pain relief, improved circulation and digestion, better body alignment, increased concentration, deeper, more relaxed breathing, and a sense of well-being and inner peace. The question is: does yoga hold these benefits for children as well? At Rainbow Kids Yoga, the answer is Yes, and more!
Yoga for kids is a fun way for children to develop important skills in a fun, non-competitive environment. Even at a young age, children often feel pressure at school academically and socially, plus the added pressure of competitive organized sports. It is easy for girls and boys to become overly self-critical, and lose confidence in themselves as they grow and change. Yoga is a great remedy; there is no judgment in a yoga class about how a child does a pose or plays a game. Doing a pose 'perfectly' is not the aim of yoga, which nurtures a child's inner strength and self acceptance.
