The children thoroughly enjoy practicing yoga, which aids them in relaxation and balance through slow movements and deep breathing. This ancient form of exercise and meditation helps the children become aware of their body and their body control. Yoga further assists in the development of self-discipline.
In recent yoga classes, Cheeba has focused on teaching the children the “lion” pose. This particular pose is geared to help children work through complex emotions by incorporating relaxation breathing. In this pose, the children inhale, then deeply and silently exhale, thus allowing them to release any unwanted energy they may have.
