Why do I love teaching toddler's yoga? Teaching yoga to toddlers is a joyful and wonderful challenge. Kids have so much fun at toddler's yoga and there are so many benefits – it’s more than an exercise or music class. We move the body in lots of different ways to help develop strength and co-ordination, but we are also moving in ways to subtly enhance and balance the brain/body connections that are developing so quickly at this age. Children are also encouraged to express themselves and to explore new ways of being, empowering their confidence. Most importantly, toddlers gradually learn how to calm and focus and to release stress (yes – toddlers can have stressed bodies and minds as well as adults!). They are absorbing skills that will support them as they venture out into life. Parents and carers can also pick up ideas that they can use with their children at home, so it becomes more than just a class you go to. Unlike adults, toddlers let you know exactly what they are feeling and where they are at. As a teacher you accept that as a gift and try to meet their needs.
Robyns focus is to make yoga fun and accessible to everyone, whatever your age or state of health. Robyn can be contacted on 0409932200 or dru.with.robyn@gmail.com Robyn's Qualifications and Certificates
