Kids Yoga is a fun and playful version of adult yoga and includes lots of games and toys! Kids yoga poses are different to adult yoga poses in that children are not taught to aim for perfection or hold poses for too long to avoid straining their growing bodies. Most poses have animal names and some poses are specifically for kids, such as the crocodile pose or donkey pose which encourage development of physical strength and co-ordination.  Kids yoga also uses non-competitive games to teach children mutual respect for one another. Listening skills and patience are also taught during games.
