We bet your kid will be a natural at child’s pose. Share the joy (and fun!) of yoga with your children at the Shrewsbury Public Library’s Yoga for Kids events Friday, March 13 and Friday, March 20, 2015. You don’t need to be an adult for yoga, an ancient practice that promotes both mental and physical wellness. Encouraging your kids to learn yoga at an early age could help them focus better, learn to enjoy healthy activity, and understand the pleasure of quiet time.

Benefits of Yoga for the Whole Family
Any physical activity that you can do as a family is great for teaching your children the importance of fitness. Consider these benefits of yoga for your kids:
- Focus: A big part of yoga is finding peace within yourself and focusing on the moment and your internal thoughts. In a world full of distractions, children can benefit from the introducton of practicing focus.
- Mindfulness: Yoga encourages mindfulness. During yoga, you’re encouraged to pay attention to each movement and each breath. Encourage your kids (and yourself!) to be present in the moment and in tune with your body.
- Flexibility: Yoga has been shown to increase flexibility and ease the discomfort of sore or growing muscles.
- Health: It’s never too early to get kids exercising! Yoga introduces kids to a new form of fitness that’s accessible and simple. When your children understand the importance of health early in life, they’re more likely to continue good healthy habits (hopefully with their teeth, too!).
- Fun! Learning yoga together as a family will be fun, especially with other kids and families in the mix. The event promises to be a playful and fun experience for kids and adults alike.
