Welcome to YogaNutz
Children are born natural yogis. Just watch a toddler as they stretch, twist, roll and turn themselves upside down and observe how they are, naturally able to keep their body healthy.
As we grow older, without attention, our body’s natural flexibility decreases due to sitting at desks, playing computer games, watching T.V etc. Eventually we lose the ability to naturally know how to keep our body in tip top condition.
When a child comes to a YogaNutz class, they are encouraged to continue with that natural movement, whilst creatively imitating animals & nature. By maintaining the ability to subconsciously listen to the needs of their body, children will be able to keep their body healthy both inside and out.
Yoga provides so much more than just good physical health. In a YogaNutz class we also teach children to look inwardly & connect with their inner self, so they learn that they are special for who they are on the inside – Every child is beautiful!
This, in turn will grow inner strength, self confidence & self esteem which is immensely important to help children cope with challenges that life throws at them.
It is important children learn to respect themselves, listen to & be aware of their body & emotions as well as respecting people around them.
Our ultimate aim is to create happy, healthy children on the inside & out.
Benefits
Where to begin
A child is like an open book, able to learn and absorb from those around them, their activities and surroundings. To introduce a child to yoga is to open a whole new world of possibilities and lead them towards being healthier on the inside and out.
Physically
In a world where children have less opportunity to build healthy bodies and minds and spend so much time sitting behind desks, yoga is a holistic practice which will help the child to achieve a healthier, stronger inner and outer body in a supportive and non competitive environment;- Through the development of balance, and the building of core strength in the abdominal and back muscles, the child achieves a stronger posture, leading to correct alignment of the body.
- Yoga improves the child’s co-ordination, movement and awareness of the body by teaching imaginative ways to move from posture to posture.
- Improved flexibility is achieved by using a variety of simple poses, backbends, forward bends, twists and balances to work the spine and all major muscle groups in a safe and achievable way.
- Through the use of simple breathing exercises the child strengthens and tones their lungs and learns techniques to calm and relax themselves when in stressful situations.
- The internal organs, kidneys, liver, intestines etc are massaged using safe simple postures which help with digestive problems and maintain a healthier inner body.
Mentally- The child will, through the use of exciting and engaging stories, games and artistic activities stimulate their imagination and creativity and be enable to express themselves in a safe environment.
- This in turn boosts self confidence, self awareness, self esteem and personal power for the child leading to a feeling of overall well being and energy for life.
- Yoga helps to improve a childs concentration, memory and general ability to focus.
- Relaxation techniques and visualisations will help the child to develop a calm and balanced emotional state, give them tools to cope with the problems of everyday living and promote better sleep.
