Yoga is a great way to engage kids in physical activity because it helps improve flexibility, balance, and strength all while being non-competitive and inexpensive. Some studies have even suggested that practicing yoga can improve a child's attention, relationships, self-esteem, and listening skills. Attendees will learn about yoga and the new 4-H Yoga for Kids curriculum, as well as practice some breathing exercises and individual and partner poses used in the program.
