WELLS - ChildLight Yoga, founded in 1995, began by offering yoga classes and programs for babies, kids and families in the Southern New Hampshire area.
Due to many requests, the company had now expanded its classes into Maine.
Seacoast Fitness in Wells and South Berwick Yoga will now offer ChildLight Yoga classes.
Owner and Director Lisa Flynn has seen a tremendous growth in interest in yoga for children as parents, school teachers, pediatricians, therapists and the children themselves feel and see the beneficial effects of the ancient practice.
"Of course, yoga for toddlers, preschoolers and older kids is quite distinct from yoga for adults!" Flynn said. "It's a bit noisy and busy, but there is no doubt it helps the children learn to focus, and connect with themselves and others. Whether it's a breathing exercise to calm down or a series of yoga poses to energize, yoga gives us tools that we can take with us throughout our lives. Learning these tools in childhood can have a tremendous effect on long term health and wellness. It's also a great physical activity that improves posture, flexibility and strength. Plus, it's fun and the kids just love it!"
ChildLight Yoga offers a variety of classes for babies to teens in Dover, Portsmouth, Stratham, and North Hampton, N.H., and now also in Wells and South Berwick.
