  7. Support for Special Needs Students: Yoga can be adapted to accommodate students with diverse learning needs, providing a non-competitive and inclusive activity that promotes physical and emotional well-being for all students.

  2. Promotion of Self-Regulation: Yoga teaches pre-schoolers and nursery children how to recognize and regulate their emotions, promoting self-control and reducing tantrums and meltdowns.

  3. Language and Cognitive Development: Yoga classes incorporate storytelling, songs, and rhymes, supporting language development, vocabulary expansion, and cognitive skills in a fun and engaging way.

  4. Encouragement of Creativity: Yoga fosters creativity and imagination through playful movement, storytelling, and visualization, encouraging children to express themselves creatively and explore their imaginations.

  5. Improved Sleep Quality: Gentle yoga poses and relaxation techniques help young children wind down and prepare for restful sleep, promoting better sleep quality and overall well-being.
