I love introducing young children to the practice of yoga! Yoga at the preschool age is such a wonderful tool not only to help children increase gross motor development through balance, coordination, and body awareness but also to provide a gentle and supportive space to foster social-emotional learning as they build skills in mindfulness, self-regulation, and self-awareness. Yoga increases focus and concentration and helps children learn to be gentle with themselves and others. I will be visiting the children at WUNS once a month this year, taking the kids on exciting “adventures” using stories, games, music, and loads of imagination to lead them through a fun and exciting yoga practice that will exercise both their bodies and their minds.
