Start young, stay young, have fun!
YogaBugs classes are designed for children aged 2½ to 7 years old. The children are lead through creative stories and exciting adventures that stimulate their imagination and help to maintain their natural flexibility. Whilst enjoying a variety of safe postures, the children sing songs, play games and work together. The stories involve a wonderful combination of stretches, back arches, twists and balances; these combine to support and strengthen children, not only physically but also mentally, by building confidence in themselves, improving their concentration and helping them to sleep better.
YogaBugs have trained over 270 teachers throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland, they specialise in teaching children aged 2½ to 7 years old. YogaBugs teaches children in after school clubs in primary and prep schools, and in nurseries during the school day. They also teach in yoga & health centres.

Below are just some of the benefits children can gain:

· Breathing exercises improve concentration and energy levels

· Relaxation techniques clear the mind, allowing for better memory retention

· Postures help recharge a weak immune system and strengthen the core, stabilising muscles in the abdomen and back

· Posture work also helps tone the body and reduce obesity, maintaining a child’s natural flexibility which can start to shut down from an early age

· Yoga classes help develop creativity and self expression and improves self-confidence through vocalisation techniques and postures designed to release day-to-day anxieties

· The practice of yoga improves co-ordination and balance, promotes healthy sleep patterns and allows children to explore their intuitive and spiritual side
