“It is certainly remarkable that the perfection of yoga was taught in the middle of a battlefield.”

Yoga and martial arts were originally taught and practiced together by ancient Indian warriors. East Side Yoga is excited to bring back this tradition with Kids’ Warrior Yoga Classes. These vinyasa (flow) yoga classes emphasize proper technique and alignment using asanas (poses) in the warrior series, and those asanas most appealing to kids.
All of East Side Yoga’s classes are developmentally appropriate and taught by experienced instructors. The benefits of yoga for kids are many, including:
- Greater strength and flexibility
- Increased body awareness
- Emotional stability
- Mindfulness of others
- Peace of mind
Because yoga strengthens the mind/body connection, kids who practice yoga consistently are able to excel at most of the other mental/physical activities they pursue later in life.
