Children's yoga is offered

Children's yoga classes will be offered on the Peninsula for Term 3, on July 17.

Classes will be available for toddlers through to teens.

Peninsula resident Ms Mychel Ellis is offering to teach at pre-schools and schools, child-care centres, before and after school care facilities and children's functions.

"The power of yoga to improve the quality of life for our children is an untapped resource," Ms Ellis said.

"Although yoga has enjoyed popularity with adults for many years, it is only recently that we have come to understand how helpful it can be for children in their formative years, increasing their self-awareness, building their self-esteem, and strengthening their bodies.

"Children can learn better in school because yoga helps coordinate the brain functions.

Ms Ellis has been practicing yoga herself for over 15 years and teaching children for three years.
