Join our core strength and child back yoga classes for a healthy back & spine every Thursday from 6 pm.

 

Good and strong posture from early age onwards are key to developing and maintaining a healthy and strong body throughout our life.

 

Strong core muscles make it easier to do most physical activities – promoting strong bones, muscles and good posture and enhance healthy growth and development.

A strong core – abdominal, back and pelvic muscles – is extremely important for children and young adults as this is the center of everything the body does – its vital to the progression of developmental skills, balance and body coordination.

​

Weak core muscles in children can cause frustration with sitting in the school for longer periods, and performing motoric skills – which later have an influence on concentration. Tension headaches and back pain in a young age can also be traced back to stiff and shortened muscles in the neck, back and shoulder area.

​

Children tend to sit many hours at school or during their relaxation times in front of screens – with shoulders rolled forward. Tight muscles in the chest and back area may affect hand – arm coordination and may even lead to lower back pain in early teen age.

In our classes we focus on strengthening the back and abdominal muscles, whilst developing flexibility and releasing tension in the lower back, neck and shoulder areas.
