One of the great things about living in Dilworth is that there is always something going on for our children. At the Tom Sykes Rec Center, there are a variety of classes for toddlers and children. This Friday, March 6th, at 9:30am Craig Colistra will join us to lead a little toddler yoga. He will show us some poses and activities that we can do at home with our little ones. Below you will find some information regaridng children's yoga and why it is so benefecial. We look forward to seeing you all on Friday.
Just watching a child's movements, it is evident that they are born natural yogis. Parents can encourage a lifelong path to health by modeling movements and placing names to the movements. As toddlers develop, yoga helps them become aware of the range of their movement and physical abilities. Through games, activities and storytelling, children will associate fun and play with creative movement, challenge, and teamwork. As they become teens, yoga postures helps them have a high sense of body awareness, helping to appreciate their developing bodies and instilling a positive self image.
Tom Sykes Recreation Center offers yoga classes to three age groups on Wednesday afternoons. Ages 3-5 (FREE) from 3:15p-3:45p; ages 6-11 from 4:00p-4:45p; and ages 12-17 from 5:15p-6:15p. Cost:$15 per month. Contact Craig at 704-432-4806 for more information.
