In this day and age, Kids\u2019 Yoga is important for children’s physical and mental well-being! Using stories, games, music, pranayama (breaths), relaxation, and meditation, we provide fun-filled classes.<\/p>\n

In this activity, we stimulate cooperation and teamwork, cultivate the principles of non-violence, truth, peace, and joy, prepare the body for motor coordination, balance and develop the various forms of intelligence of emotions.<\/p>\n

Practicing yoga helps with intellectual assimilation, concentration, focus, self-esteem, and creativity. Children are encouraged to respect and pay attention to their body and what they are feeling, becoming more aware of their being. Besides the immense physical and mental benefits, one of the principles of practicing yoga is respect and honor for oneself, others, and the environment.<\/p>\n

Children surrounded by positivity, confidence, joy, love and with body awareness are calmer and happier children.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1480347605068{padding-left: 80px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”31126″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””]

Artistic Expression is a discipline that explores and enhances expression and innate movement, thus awakening the authenticity and freedom of one’s own speaking body. Through a set of theatrical practices, body and dramatic expression exercises, children experience dynamics \/ technical and playful exercises appropriate to their respective age group. These allow them to develop various technical and inner aspects, such as rhythm, musicality, discipline, rigor, balance, coordination, flexibility, muscle strength, posture, agility, special notion, body awareness, imagination, creativity, sensitivity, improvisation, verbal and body language, self-confidence, and security in the group.<\/p>\n

Extracurricular English activities at Raiz aim to develop various skills in this area, in a variety of ways, with a greater emphasis on the development of orality and playful activities.
