Yoga for Kids & Teens
A yoga class for children and/or teens contains elements of yoga with lots of fun, various games, dancing, singing and playing. In a stimulating atmosphere where children relax and have fun, body strength, coordination, flexibility and stability are developed at the same time. In addition, it tries to strengthen self-awareness, focus and concentration, and most importantly - self-confidence.
