YogaFrogs developed when we found that there was plenty of 'Adult Yoga' around. Our Adult Yoga is Bikram Yoga- you know the one with the heat! Which, as much as we love it, isn't really for the younger children between 6 and 12 years old. YogaFrogs and YogaTeens contains no extra heat!

Our Studio Director, Nathan, being a school teacher, was constantly asked to give yoga classes at his schools as part of the fitness program. With his strong knowledge of the Bikram Yoga series he went to train in Children's Yoga to help develop classes in his local area.

Many adults that come to Nathan's Bikram studio ask to bring their kids. We don't have a creche so they ask us to add children's classes to the already busy schedule of adult classes. So the plan is to have both running side by side, so that parents can do Bikram yoga and the children can do YogaFrogs- helping to create healthy, happy families!

There are plenty of benefits for anybody doing yoga! We hope to bring to children:

• Flexibility of the body and mind
• Stretches muscles and creativity
• Strengthens body and spirit
• Promotes emotional stability
• Builds co-ordination and spatial awareness
• Reduces stress and introduces focus
• Increases mental capacity and body knowledge
• Stimulates and massages glands in growing bodies
• Promotes self-relaxation and breathing techniques
• Encourages self-esteem and self-health
• Increases memory and time efficiency
• Can be part of a behaviour management plan
