The California-based program not only offers instruction for children, but also teaches budding yoga tutors to teach kids themselves.
The Dahn Yoga basics are made to be soothing, reinvigorating and low-impact, which effectively tailors them to people of almost all ages. Many news sources report that this trend is growing, and the San Mateo County Times is no exception.
The newspaper recently ran a profile of a yoga studio that caters to children and adults, as well as whole families. The California-based program not only offers instruction for children, but also teaches budding yoga tutors to teach kids themselves.
San Mateo resident Larry D'Arcangelis told the news organization that his son and daughter love the regimen, which keeps them healthy and entertained while giving him a real workout.
"[My daughter] has been practicing since she was about 2½ years old," he told the newspaper. "Her sense of balance is amazing, she loves it."
Practicing yoga may do more for kids than just keep them happy and fit. A study published in the Journal of Attention Disorders determined that the holistic mind-body regimen may serve as a complementary therapy for boys taking medication for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Choosing Dahn Yoga means more than helping a child optimize their wellness, though. The program offers families a community in which to grow and make lasting connections.
