What happens in a parents and children class?
“They did not know it was impossible so they did it” /Mark Twain/
Kids jump, stretch, sit with their eyes closed, they travel the world on their mats – it`s an endless discovery of themselves. Children get centered and practice yoga just like we adults do. Well, they bark in Downward Facing Dog, they splash water in their Elephant Asana, they slide down a snowy hill as a sledge with their mats, and the journey goes on and on.
For children this yoga class is a chance to get familiar with the Asanas, practicing their balance, stretching and developing their muscles, while having fun and broadening their horizon. They practice focusing on their breath allowing themselves to slow down and understand what their body is doing and feeling.
Please note that my children yoga classes are limited to schools and kindergartens. At this time, I don`t offer any open children yoga classes.
Body awareness and good posture
Developing body awareness and good posture is a crucial part of becoming healthy adults.
Mindfulness exercises
Through the mindfulness exercises children can better manage stress and use these techniques in their everyday lives.
Concentration
As they move and replicate what they see, their concentration is encouraged and their focus is strengthened.
About Me
“To me nothing in the world is as precious as a genuine smile, especially from a child.”
/Rumi, Persian poet/
My Story:
I was always drawn to children. To their ability to be lost in the moment, to truly connect and to truly live. For us adults, it’s a learning curve to come back to our hearts, for our children it’s a natural state.
Yoga allows us to strengthen the connection with ourselves. I have learnt a lot from the best teachers during my studies to become a certified yoga teacher (Vinyasa and Yin Yoga), and later on educating myself about children’s yoga, getting the certification of post-natal recovery therapist, and the list goes on.
My greatest teacher however is undoubtedly my son. He teaches me every day that trying and failing is normal. That you can never say `I love you` too many times. And that practicing yoga together might not be the most elegant and technically perfect practice, but it creates a space for us together where we can jump, laugh, sit, breathe and cuddle.
I am also proud member of the Swiss Kids Yoga Association (Kinderyogaverband).
Why kids yoga?
For children this yoga class is a chance:
to get familiar with the Asanas (yoga postures),
practice their balance, stretch and develop their muscles, while having fun and broadening their horizon,
focusing on their breath allowing themselves to slow down and understand what their body is doing and feeling.
What People Are Saying
Zsofia is an enthusiastic yoga teacher who engages the children with creative stories and shows them ways to wind-down by learning easy breathing techniques. The yoga postures are easy to follow and the children have great fun during the class. We arranged a class at our place and invited our friends over. The children practiced yoga and the parents could enjoy a nice conversation in the other room.
Where do the kinder yoga classes take place?
In Zürich, at Quartiertreff Hirslanden (Forchstrasse 248, 8032 Zürich)
If you live in Zürich I am also happy to accommodate private classes at the convenience of your home. How about inviting your kid’s friends over to your home for a small group class! I will bring the mats and all necessary materials for the class. Please contact me directly for more information on private classes.
