Tips from the WPS Staff
From the Desk of our OT, Ms. Laurice
Yoga
The younger age groups are typically taught yoga in the form of play/games/songs to engage them effectively in the practice. The focus is on physical development, increasing attention span, sitting tolerance, and bonding among peers. The yoga lesson includes yoga postures and dynamic practices which can effectively help in their physical development and emotional wellbeing.
Some benefits from yoga:
✱ It increases muscular strength and flexibility.
✱ It strengthens lung and cardiac functions.
✱ Improves sensory-motor performance and enhances processing ability of the nervous
system.
✱ Improves memory, attention span, concentration, and motor planning skills.
✱ It improves mood and alleviates stress and anxiety.
✱ Increases emotional stability, reduces fear and feelings of helplessness, as well as
aggression and negative feelings, and improve overall well-being.Stay tuned for more information about specific yoga poses and their benefits later this month!
