What children actually get from it
Not calm, exactly. Somewhere to put a feeling. A child who has been taught to notice their own breath has a thing to do when something goes wrong, and that is most of what people mean when they say yoga settles a child.
The physical side follows the same syllabus as everything else the school teaches, scaled and paced for younger bodies: balance, flexibility, and enough strength work to matter. Children are usually better at the postures than their parents and much worse at the stillness, which is the reverse of the adult classes and makes them fun to teach.
How the class is run
Groups of up to thirty, over five months. The pace is different from an adult class: shorter holds, more variety, and stillness introduced in doses a child can actually manage rather than as a ten-minute savasana on day one.
Parents are welcome to ask how a session is structured before enrolling, and to say anything the teacher should know: a child who is anxious about being watched, an old fracture, an attention difficulty. It changes how the class is run for that child, and it is better said in advance.
Ages
The school takes children across a range of ages and places them by what suits the group rather than by a fixed cut-off. Write with your child’s age and you will get a straight answer about whether the current batch is right for them.
