Yoga Zoo introduces youngsters (18 months to 3 years of age) to the fun of movement! It triggers their imaginations and fosters creativity by taking the forms of animals, unusual shapes and making up their own poses. Through yoga postures, children will build strength, gain flexibility and improve balance. It offers effective tools for stilling the body and introduces them to the concept of self-calming through the breath. In all these ways, yoga helps children feel independent and accomplished.
