Yoga for Kids
As a non-competitive form of exercise, yoga gives children the physical benefits of traditional school sports in a safe and supportive environment while also teaching them valuable skills for relaxation and concentration. In this way, yoga educates the whole child.
Yoga can increase your child's flexibility, balance, strength and coordination, aiding healthy childhood development. It has also been shown to help children with disturbed sleeping patterns, bad posture, lethargy, obesity, asthma, and poor concentration.
The kids yoga courses taught by The Yoga Space are designed by Jean Byrne, a registered school teacher and experienced yoga teacher, and Lara Mordt who is an experienced nanny and yoga teacher. Both Jean and Lara have a ‘Working With Children Check’ and also teach in primary and high-schools.
Classes at The Yoga Space and Loftus Community Centre run for approximately 45 minutes. Parents are asked to drop their children off and either wait in our outside courtyard (where you can see the class from a distance) or you might like to grab a coffee from a nearby cafe. At Loftus please come inside with your children to drop them off and pick them up. There is ample free parking.
