OUR PHILOSOPHY
An afterschool yoga program for children can be a great way to promote physical activity, relaxation, and mindfulness. It can also help children develop better self-regulation, focus, and concentration skills. Some benefits of yoga for children include improved physical and mental health and emotional well-being.
At Üphoria Yoga, we foster yogic being & mindful engagement for children in our academy, helping children to be more present and at peace with the moment.
Through conscious and positive-focused teaching and modelling, the teachers at Üphoria Yoga encourage social and emotional development, laying the fundamental groundwork for each child's yoga journey. We believe children can become their most confident and empowered selves when given the tools and environment to flourish and grow.

DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM
This program is designed for children attending nearby elementary schools to come and practice yoga after school. Our staff picks up the kids from school and transport them to Üphoria Yoga in a designated yoga van to attend afterschool yoga & mindfulness programming.
Upon arrival at the studio, children wash their hands and have their afternoon snack packed from home. Following snack, children are led through active breathing exercises, developmentally appropriate yoga postures, yoga games and activities & relaxation. Teachers encourage the development of mind and body connection by drawing awareness to the breath and guiding mindful movement in a way that is fun, accessible and age-appropriate.
PLEASE NOTE:
Üphoria Yoga is not a childcare centre.
