Yoga Shakti Youth Program

The Shakti Yoga Youth program is a complete yoga practice of postures, breathing, healthy eating and peer relationship-building for children between the ages of 5 and 15.

If children learn to keep their bodies healthy, their minds calm, have self-confidence and work well with peers, they will have a roaring start in life.

This unique program helps give children the ability to achieve:

• A state of calm and well-being through vigorous exercise paired with continuous breath control
• A healthy body through strength and flexibility exercises and nutritious snacks that promote healthy eating habits
• Self confidence through mastering increasing levels of difficulty in each pose
• Peer relationships and social skills through fun games that foster teamwork and comradery
• Sports conditioning through attention to balance, discipline, coordination and body awareness for injury protection
