Why Yoga Therapy?
|
I am always amazed at the transformations in myself and every child after Yoga Practice. The more I learn and experience the more I want to share those unique benefits of yoga therapy with children.
I invite your children to experience a special journey where they will learn to connect their Mind, Body and Spirit via yoga practice. By experiencing yoga therapy, they will gain strength, stamina, and coordination. They will develop motor planning, increase concentration and focus, decrease anxiety with exams, learn to relax, improve their ability to fall asleep, and boost digestion. Children become more organized and develop self control and confidence needed to succeed in our Western society. I hope to bring the joy of yoga to as many children as possible in Morristown and beyond. Om Shanti (Peace), Yana

Non-Competitive Physical Activity Today, people usually participate in competitive physical activities. Yoga is wonderful because it allows one to learn to care for and condition her/his body without the stress of competition. In addition, yoga complements other sports, which may overuse certain muscle groups or not provide adequate stretching prior to participation.
