Yoga Bugs is a complete form of exercise in a safe and non-competitive environment for children aged 2½ to 7. It is a particularly good way for children to exercise on rainy days and benefits both their mind through focusing on the breathing and visualisation techniques and their bodies through the posture work.

Few young children walk to school and they generally travel by car or public transport.

Yoga Bugs addresses this by helping to maintain a child’s natural flexibility, which can begin to shut down from a surprisingly young age, especially once they are drawn more towards television and computer games combined with more time in the class room as opposed to doing physical activity.

Yoga improves self-confidence through vocalisation techniques and postures that are designed to release day to day anxieties such as separation issues, bullying, lethargy and negativity.

Yoga Bugs Classes

Here is an outline of a Yoga Bugs class at the GO-Yoga Shala :

• The class will last for 45 minutes.
• Yoga Bugs teaches Children aged 2½ to 7.
• During a class, children are taken through a series of warm up exercises, followed by an exciting story in which they are taught yoga postures which represent characters or animals in a story. Fun Yoga games and songs are often included in the classes as well.
• The sessions end with relaxation, using visualisation techniques and breathing.
• Classes are non competitive, they take place during the school day or as an after school activity.

Yoga Bugs will help to promote healthy sleeping patterns and allows children to explore their intuitive nature and spirituality. During the class the children will be taught breathing exercises which will improve concentration and energy levels, relaxation techniques to clear the mind, allowing for better memory retention and postures that help recharge a weak immune system and strengthen the core stabilising muscles of the abdomen and back. Posture work helps to tone the body and reduce the rising levels of childhood obesity.

Yoga Bugs classes will develop creativity and self-expression, calm symptoms of anxiety and nervousness prior to school tests or school performances and improve co-ordination and balance.
