In speaking with the professionals at Connec-To-Talk in Wilton, I've learned that the practice of yoga among children is a rapidly expanding and becoming a very popular form of exercise, discipline and relaxation. The benefits of yoga are vast and influential on a child's development of a strong mind and body. Through the practice of yoga children will:
- Develop strong and healthy bones
- Develop confidence and self-esteem
- Improve body awareness, motor skills, posture and balance
- Develop imagination and creativity
- Improve focus and attention span which directly impacts academic performance
- Develop flexibility, endurance, and a healthy heart and cardiovascular system
- Reduce and better cope with feelings of stress, anxiety and nervousness
