You may be an avid yogi and have seen first hand the benefits of the dedication to a continuous yoga practice. Or, you may have never experienced a yoga class first hand, but are curious as to why there are so many yoga classes for children on the market. Do they really do what they say? Will my child experience reduced stress, increase physical activity and ability, decrease negative behaviour, increase self esteem and assist in nurturing my child?
