Little Flower Yoga is a unique organization that
specializes in developing engaging education based yoga programs for schools and youth
organizations. Little Flower Yoga
is a multi-dimensional approach to addressing the interrelated physical,
cognitive, emotional and social needs of youth.
Created by an educator, our programs incorporate
learning goals throughout every class, and our instructors take advantage of the many
teachable moments that occur in each session. Little Flower Yoga challenges students to learn in
new ways, make connections, and recognize their tremendous capacity to
achieve. We always encourage communication, creativity and
laughter.
Little Flower Yoga grew out of a desire to see all
children embracetheir potential, and to help children live their
lives with joy, secure in the knowledge that the world holds great wonders for them and that they have great gifts to share with the world.
To that end the Little Flower
Yoga program has several simultaneous missions:
The first is for our
kids to have fun! Nobody can force a child (or an adult) to “do” yoga, and in
order to enjoy the benefits of the practice the child must want to be there. We do all we can to
ensure that our children love their classes.
The second mission is to provide the
tools to develop self-awareness, and enhance the physical, mental and emotional
health and wellbeing of students.
The third is
to develop the focus and concentration skills necessary to enhance learning,
and to incorporate educational activities throughout the program.
The fourth is
to provide an environment of support and encouragement, where children can feel
safe and respected, have the freedom to experiment with their ideas, andfind enjoyment
and success in a non-competitive physical activity.
