Yoga in School
Children and teens experience an enormous amount of stress today. Many things contribute to it: peers, school, families, and competition. We know that stress can affect them physically, mentally and emotionally. In these classes, traditional yoga techniques have been recreated in simple and fun ways that young people can enjoy. Yoga can help create a sense of confidence and well-being, while reducing stress and relaxing them.
Sessions are designed specifically for the appropriate age group. Age ranges are from four to the teens. Each age group has specific needs and focuses. Classes may be held in almost any room (gyms, music rooms and class rooms). The class location can be very flexible.
Our sessions are currently running in local schools throughout Westchester in their after school programs and clubs.

November 2010:
Scarsdale’s Heathcote Elementary School implemented a new “Mindfullness Program” in November. Part of the program consisted of each class participating in three yoga classes during the 4 weeks. Yoga Haven’s awesome staff of six kid’s yoga teachers taught 58 classes during that month! The program was a great success.
