KIDS YOGA
Tuesdays 3:30 (Tanya) and 4:30 (Stacey Linden)
At Kids Yoga classes, children learn to stretch, breathe deeply, relax and concentrate. We also start touching on concepts like peace, being healthy and strong, as well as just having FUN. Yoga develops correct posture, body awareness and self-confidence and helps children to become more calm.
CAPOEIRA
Mondays at 3:30 & Wednesdays 3:30 and 4:30- with Inst. Coco
Capoeira is a unique Brazilian art form that has evolved over centuries into an exciting combination of martial arts, dance, music, and acrobatics. Capoeira was developed in Brazil, but its history extends to Africa and tribes from Angola. Slaves living on Brazilian Plantations who weren’t allowed to openly practice traditional forms of self-defense developed an ingenious method of disguising their training by combining it with dance-like movements, singing, and the rhythms of primitive instruments.
Benefits of Capoeira for Kids
- Promote social interaction and sense of belonging
- Help develop confidence, discipline and self esteem in kids
- Promote a healthy lifestyle so children become active, and healthy
- Develop cultural awareness and tolerance
