She was first introduced to yoga in 2007, when her dance teacher taught a vinyasa flow instead of her typical class. She loved the way it centered her body and mind together and knew she needed to continue her practice. In 2015, Anna began working with Treehouse Yoga for Children at Summer camp. Teaching children yoga and dance is Anna’s passion and she loves watching her students learn and grow.

My 2 year old asks every day if it’s “yoga” day. He lives for this class. He has grown so much and learned so much from Treehouse Yoga. He almost has his handstand and knows how to vinyasa. We do it together several nights a week because he likes to show off! It’s worth every cent. I wish it was more than once a week.

Benefits of Yoga for Children
Refine Flexibility and Balance
Yoga poses have been shown to build muscle, increase flexibility, and develop balance. Poses are done sitting, standing, or lying down and each pose is designed to focus on strengthening the body in various ways. Variations on yoga poses have been adapted for use in many other physical activities and can be seen anywhere from warm-ups before a sports game to ballet choreography.
Reduce Stress and Anxiety
Yoga blends physical activity with breathwork and guided mindful activities to help children separate themselves from feeling stressed or anxious. Deep breathing exercises send signals to the brain telling it to relax. Yoga focuses on the present moment and encourages children to leave their thoughts and worries behind. With a relaxed body and mind children are better able to cope with their emotions, i.e. frustration, patience, sad, angry, excited.
Develop Concentration and Focus
When practicing poses in yoga children must clear their minds and focus on moving their bodies into the pose or through a sequence of poses. Children’s yoga classes often incorporate mindful games which allows them to build on their focus in a fun and entertaining way. A regular yoga practice will help translate focus from the movements in yoga practice to schoolwork and other activities the child is involved in. Sessions scaffold from the first to the last class, building repetition, patterns, and memory.
Create Mind-Body Connection
In yoga, kids are encouraged to tune in to their bodies and notice how they really feel in each present moment. They build this connection through simple movements like wiggling their toes. They will learn how their body, mind, and breath all work together to make them feel like their best self both on and off the yoga mat.
Encourage Sense of Self and Community
Kids yoga activities can be done as individuals or as group exercises. Through yoga they are taught to focus on themselves personally as well as how they contribute the the success of a group or community through partner poses and group poses. Through these activities they build confidence with their practice and who they are as a person. Each child is taught to have an “I can” attitude with poses, and are taught to not give up even if a pose does not come to them easily.
