Pre-school Enrichment Program

Pre-school Enrichment Program

Yoga at Schools™ Yoga Based Learning gives the children a holistic approach to self-awareness and self-care the two key factors identified by the medical community for lifetime health and wellness.

Yoga At Schools™ uses yoga-based exercises and kinesthetic play for preschoolers to:

develop a healthy child with a learning ready brain,
develop vestibular and prorioceptive systems (body’s sense of itself in space)
enhance awareness and development of the senses
stimulate emotional awareness and intelligence
develop a sense of connectedness to others

Yoga At Schools™ believes that each child is a whole, unique and precious being, deserving of understanding and respect. We are always doing our best, and we are ever growing learning. We are all connected to a greater community and our actions make a difference and impact others. We are responsible for our own lives, and we can all maintain a lifetime of health and learning through the pursuit of self-knowledge and care.
