Yoga For Kids

As part of their enrichment program, St. Luke Preschool offers a Yoga class adapted for pre-school children.

Stephanie Bogdanski, a certified Kids Yoga instructor and an early childhood educator, teaches the youngsters to stretch their minds and bodies to help develop physical awareness, language, good listening skills and cooperation.

“The Yoga class has been a wonderful addition to our program,” said the school’s director, Regina Farinaccio. “Every time I visit I am impressed with the way the children participate and how much they are learning.”

Benefits of yoga on young children continue to be documented.

On March 28, 2011, the Wall Street Journal’s article, Namaste. Now Naptime reported that, “Yoga isn't just good exercise for adults. A growing number of schools, hospitals and studios say it can also be a boon to kids, helping them relax and focus, and improve their flexibility.”
