Yoga Camps

Yoga for kids

Yoga programs for kids are an ideal way to introduce children to this practice. In camp, the training children receive will be focused on appealing to abilities and interests at their maturity level. There are yoga training programs for kids as young as five years old.

The benefits of kids camp with yoga 

The discipline of yoga is known to help kids manage stress, and teach them to calm their minds. Experts and observers feel that children today face different, unique stresses from those of previous generations. Kids often internalize stress in ways that are not healthy. Unchecked stress can manifest in health issues that include migraines, lack of sleep and other disorders.

Encouraging your child in yoga offers an alternative means of self-understanding and self-control, healthier than other less holistic-oriented interventions. Kids who learn yoga find a positive outlet that gives them a measure of control over their stress and over their bodies.

For young children, yoga has many other benefits, including the following:

• It helps them develop body awareness.
• They manage stress through controlled breathing and meditation techniques.
• It improves their ability to focus and to concentrate.
• They participate in a peer group with like-minded interests.

When you send children to one of the camps here, you will almost certainly notice a difference in their attitude, before and after yoga sessions. Kids gain perspective and become more relaxed through the techniques and the philosophy espoused.
