Yoga and mindfulness for kids at Rainbow Connection is a story-based practice which aims to provide a mental, emotional and physical state of balance for all the children who enroll.
Yoga is the union of the body, mind and emotions. Through this connection, students become more in touch with themselves, their loved ones and the planet.
Research shows that yoga can provide a peaceful place for students. By bringing about a sense of personal wellbeing while they are given the tools to express their true selves emotionally and physically in a nurturing and non-competitive environment, we hold space for children to feel safe and find peace within themselves.
When we teach children how to respect and love their bodies, how to use their minds as a positive tool and how to connect with their emotions, we are teaching them the fundamentals of becoming a more peaceful and happier person. Self-love grows self-care and respect, which in turn, creates care for others and the planet. Rainbow Connection strives to encourage positive thinking for a positive planet.
"Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, if only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide... Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection"
