Back to School…Back to Yoga in Tuckahoe

For many, parents and children, the September back-to-school rush can certainly be exciting, but at the same time, pretty stressful for all.

The children are still winding down from summer and day camps, returning from vacation and excited to be reunited with their friends…while parents are running around frantically, ensuring that everything from new school clothes, school supplies to packed lunches are ready to go on that first day back.

Even after the day has come and gone, the madness remains as sleep patterns need to be adjusted, new schedules begin and the relaxing summer fades away.  We all move forward into a tense and regimented fall ahead.

It is usually after a few weeks that routines start to become more settled; children are back into their studies, sports and activities, and now parents have the time to begin focusing on themselves again.

Now is the best time to get back to your yoga practice! If you have never practiced yoga or meditation, it is a great time to start working it into your new routine.

Two yoga classes a week keeps your nervous system quieter, builds your stamina, enhances your sleep and aids your relaxation, and ensures a healthy well being during what can often be a busy and stressful period.

For children and teens, particularly those starting at new schools, this transitional time can be fraught with anxiety and nerves as they deal with new settings, classes, teachers and friends. Kids, Teens & Family yoga classes offered at Yoga Haven are the perfect tool to keeping your children active and healthy, helping them to deal with the stress, anxiety and hyperactivity that they may be experiencing at this time.
