Early childhood yoga class gives students tools to blossom [Kane County Chronicle]

 

Don’t let the title fool you. "Childblossom Yoga: Mindful Me" is more than poses and postures. The series of classes offered through the St. Charles Park District teaches young children effective social and emotional tools that will have a lasting affect on their well-being.

“There is a real need for incorporating movement and breath into social and emotional learning,” said Erica Filyo, Childblossom Yoga founder and certified yoga instructor.

She said in today’s technological world of instant access, children are less in tune with their minds and bodies.

“They are less aware of what they need and how they are feeling. This class helps them be mindful, not only of themselves, but of others as well,” Filyo said.

And these mindful techniques can be applied long after the class ends.
