Stress Relief Goes Kiddie -- Yoga for Kids Makes Its Way to the Desert
All across the country, kids are rolling out their yoga mats, barking like dogs, roaring like lions, and hissing like snakes. Millions of adults who enjoy the benefits of their own yoga practice are now able to offer these same benefits to their children. In a fast paced and media saturated city, Las Vegas kids now have an avenue to release their stress while building strength, flexibility, confidence and self esteem and increasing focus and concentration.
Las Vegas, NV, May 21, 2008 --(PR.com)-- All across the country, kids are rolling out their yoga mats, barking like dogs, roaring like lions, and hissing like snakes. Millions of adults who enjoy the benefits of their own yoga practice are now able to offer these same benefits to their children. Yoga instructor, Nikki Wong brings a child centered yoga program to Las Vegas for children of all ages. Yoga, a 5,000 year old method is used to calm the mind, strengthen the body, and nourish the soul. It is an ideal activity for children of all fitness and activity levels. Las Vegas kids can now enroll in summer classes that start June 10 at My Little Garden in Summerlin.
Yoga's physical and mental benefits are the same for children as for adults: improvement of strength, balance, flexibility, coordination, focus, and the ability to deal with stress, build confidence and self esteem. In a fast-paced, media-saturated community, children can turn to yoga not only as an avenue for relaxation, but they can do so non-competitively. Children are pressured in ways that adults are. It starts as early as preschool aged children who are expected to take a series of tests and interviews to be admitted to school. Then there are social pressures to “fit in” and excel in school, sports, and extra- curricular activities. Yoga teaches children to accept who they are and be comfortable in knowing that if they fail, all they need to do is get up and try again.
You won’t find silence and serious faces in a kid’s yoga class. Instead the classes come alive as the kids constantly move around making animal sounds, playing games, and even acting out a fun story through yoga poses. Their imaginations are stretched as their bodies are engaged and challenged. Classes are meant to be nothing more than fun and when this happens they unconsciously reap the benefits of yoga and start applying it to their daily lives.
