Yoga for Girls (Ages 8-12)

Many of us found yoga as adults and wish we had been given its gifts when we were younger. We think our teen years spent coping with our changing bodies and mood swings would have been easier.

Lori Wiley is an engaging and fun instructor who helps young girls through creative movement to develop a healthy sense of body awareness. Each class includes time to talk over our experiences, yoga asanas (postures and movements), breathing techniques and a guided relaxation.

Benefits

• Strengthens and balances the body
• Encourages body awareness
• Cultivates a healthy self-acceptance of changes within the body
• Fosters self-confidence
• Develops respect for differences among classmates
• Helps girls relax before tests and competitive events

Each class closes with a guided relaxation. The girls in past classes have loved the relaxation time more than anything else.
