• Simple breathing techniques to slow down the nervous system, develop self-control and connect kids with their feelings.
• Yoga poses to release energy, learn compassion and develop strength, concentration and self-confidence.
• Games and processes that develop patience, mindfulness, compassion, leadership and other social/emotional skills.
• Relaxation techniques and storytelling to calm the body and mind, and integrate physical, emotional and cognitive experiences.

This class is open to all, ages 7 through 12, and is beneficial for children with attention and social difficulties.
