Winter Yoga
Happy Monday Academy of Westhaven Families! I hope that you all got to enjoy your unexpected long weekend, we loved all of the pictures of everyone playing in the snow! We were so excited to see all of our littles back and ready to see all of their friends.
We started our week back with Winter Yoga and the littles loved it! We even included a fun game to go along with it. To where the littles got to create their very own yoga poses and helped to remind them to take deep breaths in between poses. It was very similar to a relaxing game of candy land. :)
While the littles were so busy having fun, they didn’t even realize how helpful this fun game was to their mind and bodies! According to several studies done at Harvard University, Yoga improves balance, strength, endurance, and aerobic capacity in children. It has also been shown that yoga can improve focus, memory, self esteem, classroom behavior, and can even reduce anxiety and stress in children.
We are so excited to incorporate Yoga more into our daily activities in order to help prepare our growing littles with important life skills that can help them succeed in the world.
Check out some of the fun below!
