Yoga For Kids  

Yoga for Kids Allows Them to De-Stress, Increase concentration, confidence, focus and mood are only a few of the perks that yoga offers kids. 

We’re living in a stressful time and kids need support. With pent-up energy and emotions running high, making physical activity a part of your kids’ routines can help diffuse tension, lift spirits, and reestablish a sense of normalcy.

Restorative Yoga for beginners

Private Fitness Classes Training NYC

Restorative yoga

This style of yoga “restores” the body to its parasympathetic nervous system function, which, in turn, helps the body rest, heal, and restore balance.

Restorative yoga is a slower, more restful, more passive approach to yoga that's meant to melt away muscle tension, create space in the body, and alleviate stress. It's less about building strength or working up a sweat than it is about deep mental and physical relaxation.
