Growing Yogis has begun to expand into the preschool/child care center setting.  Bringing yoga to preschoolers and toddlers is a fabulous to build some physical activity into their day.
       Recent brain research shows that there is a direct connection between movement and brain growth. Yoga classes for small people are much different that yoga classes for adults. Traditional poses are taught as well as basic yogic philisophy but there is also a large amount of creativity and imagination, fine and gross motor work, and social skill building rolled in there too.
      Active kids are healthy kids.  Getting exercise each day stimulates appetite, balances mood swings and behavior issues and helps little ones get a sound night's sleep.
      Bringing yoga into the preschool classroom or child care setting can get kids, who might not have an opportunity to try yoga on their own, started on a path to a lifetime of healthy choices.  It can also help to pull in clients who are looking for more than the standard program.  Child care centers and preschools in our area are numerous.  Parents want the best for their children and offering yoga is a great way to keep kids healthy and show parents your center is a cut above the rest.
      If you would like to see yoga in your preschool or child care center give us a call to schedule a trial class. Prices are probably more reasonable than you'd think.  If you are a parent looking for a preschool program that already offers Growing Yogis classes let us know and we would be happy to help.  Fall registration is beginning now for most preschool programs.
