School Age Yoga Curriculum (GR 4 - 6)
Building Strength, Focus & Emotional Awareness Through Movement
Curriculum Overview
At any age, yoga relaxes the mind and body. It strengthens the muscles while building flexibility. The practice of yoga in the tween and early teenage years is wonderfully beneficial in many ways while also helping to maintain a balance between a hectic schedule and a healthy lifestyle.
The Little Yogis Curriculum for grades 4 - 6 challenges the class to find quiet concentration and focus, while simultaneously creating a nice sense of community. This program is playful in ways that are age-appropriate for teens and tweens and that encourage and stimulate conversation, laughter and fun.
