Positivity & Movement for Busy Minds Little Minds
Enriching Kids Lives One Class at a Time
By teaching children mindful movement and meditation, we help them increase their well-being and enable them to meet the stresses of the world with presence, self-compassion and openness.
Our tagline at Little Yogis is ‘Positivity & Movement for Busy Minds’ as we aim to improve physical, mental, and emotional health through our curriculum. We partner with schools, childcare centers, non-profit and for-profit organizations to improve the health and wellness of communities.
At Little Yogis, we have 4 key reasons for teaching mindful movement to children:
Empower Youth: Our approach empowers youth by allowing them to become more aware by learning how to relax their bodies and minds. They learn more about their minds, and how they can affect not only their own attitudes and approaches to life, but also the attitudes of others.
Build Positive School Communities: Yoga teaches acceptance and tolerance of others. In practicing yoga, kids learn early in life that all living beings are to be cherished and respected as they are, thus helping to create more peaceful local communities and a more peaceful world in our future.
Tools for Life: Yoga encourages a mindfulness that creates a positive outlook, increases confidence, and builds resilience tools that kids can use their entire lives. Children need the tools to succeed through life’s constant ups and downs and yoga can help in so many ways.
Encourage a Healthy/Active Lifestyle: Any exercise program begun in childhood helps kids to remain physically active and healthy as a lifestyle. However, yoga takes that further by teaching not only the healthy habits mentioned above, but also a healthy approach to eating and the ability to calm oneself and focus on the mind.
After completing this program you will be able to bring the gift of yoga & mindfulness to your community and make an impact on the world around you.
