Child and Teen Yoga Classes - Waterloo

Yoga lessons helps children and adolescents to:

• Learn relaxation
• Increase focus and concentration
• Strengthen core body muscles
• Develop inner body awareness
• Improve flexibility and co-ordination
• Develop optimal body alignment
• Find inner stillness and quiet
• Increase self-esteem
• Develop balance

Young children, older kids and teens enjoy yoga – its challenge, concentration, flexibility and deep relaxation. I find both sexes of any age like yoga about the same amount, given the opportunity! Teaching yoga to children is fun, creative and more spontaneous than with adults. Children love to play with yoga poses, using their imagination and exploring body movement. Teens enjoy yoga’s relaxation, strength and flexibility.

I also offer sessions specifically for teaching relaxation techniques to children or adolescents. Please contact Megan if you would like a class or workshop in your home, school or community centre.

Yoga Classes in Schools 

I offer yoga classes in schools to both elementary and high school levels in the Kitchener Waterloo Ontario area. Having worked for years as a child and family counsellor, and almost ending up with a physical education degree, I feel very comfortable with a gym class of kids of any age or ability.

I am available to do a one time only introduction to yoga class, have several sessions, or a block of 8 or 10 lessons.

Yoga classes in schools focus on introducing children to all aspects of yoga as previously listed, in differing degrees depending on the age group and need. For example, teens like working on flexibility, young children benefit from developing focus and concentration, boys like accomplishing strength poses. The final relaxation is always the favourite, regardless of sex or age!
