- You've probably heard about the multiple health benefits of yoga.
- Well, ever thought about introducing your kids to this ancient healing art?
- "Children are perhaps more stressed-out than adults.
- Homework, sports, and peer pressure all contribute to an anxiety-ridden lifestyle.
- Yoga gives children an outlet to get fit and have fun with no competition or judgment," says Sharon resident Robyn Parets, director of breathe joy yoga and a certified Hatha yoga instructor.
- "Pretzel Kids incorporates traditional Hatha yoga postures with fun, imaginative games and relaxation techniques.
- By using games, breath work and visualization, children naturally relax and have fun," says Parets.
- Adult classes, in turn, are designed to accommodate busy adult schedules.
- There is no need to register for classes.
- Students can either pay a drop-in fee or buy a block of ten classes for a discount.
- Either way, students are welcome to come to any class.
- Breathe joy currently offers Hatha yoga, which is appropriate for all ages and levels, including beginners.
- It is a total health system that works to balance the body, mind, and spirit.
- The uplifting classes include postures, breath work, and relaxation techniques.
- Among other health benefits, Hatha aids in stress reduction, enhances flexibility, and improves balance.
- It also helps strengthen and stretch muscles, leaving you with an overall sense of well-being.
- Other classes include Vinyasa (PowerFlow) yoga, recommended for those who want a more challenging and vigorous yoga practice.
- This flowing and powerful form of traditional Hatha yoga links the breath to movement for a transformational and balancing effect.
- "My goal is to offer the community the opportunity to realize the tremendous mental and physical benefits of yoga," says Parets.
