How do you instil a desire in your child to take up meditation or yoga?

The meditation sessions can be used as a bedtime story. Try out the free meditation session on the website to inspire an interest in your children at first. You can encourage your child to invite a friend or a family relative to practice with them. Use their natural development of “show-off” behaviour to plant the first seeds of mindful learning and fitness in your child's abilities.
Can children with special needs join the courses?

All children are welcome to join our courses however, in this case please seek advice from your child's paediatrician before starting any course with us.
How do children benefit from practicing breathing exercises?

Deep slow breathing helps children organise their thoughts, calm their anger, and reduce their anxiety. Breathing rhythmically helps children considerably reduce any stammering by providing strength to their speech organs like their lungs, tongue, trachea, lips and jaw.
