Yoga sessions for children

Centru Tbexbix (Sunrise centre), Cospicua, is organising a pro­gramme of yoga sessions for children aged five to 12.

The benefits of yoga include better concen­tration, relaxation, creativity, imagination, confidence and self-awareness.

When practised regularly, yoga can help children cope better with stress in life, such as exams.

They also learn how to better control their emotions, as well as respect themselves and everything and everyone around them.

All sessions will be guided by a qualified Italian yoga teacher who is experienced in giving yoga classes for children. The sessions will integrate traditional yoga exercises adapted for children with drama, music, arts, co-operative games and screening of educational videos.

Sessions will be held every Wednesday and Friday morning until May. Special arrangements may be made for other week days.

Each session can cater for a maximum of 25 pupils and two adults every time.

The programme will take place at the premises of Centru Tbexbix, 61, Triq San Lazzru, Cospicua. Par­ticipants are to be at the Cospicua primary school, St Margerita Square, at 8.45 a.m.

Departure from the centre’s premises will be at 1 p.m.

The price is €3 per child, including a mid-morning snack and vege­tarian lunch. Children are not to bring any food with them.

The participating children should wear casual clothes, such as a track suit. They will be required to remove their shoes during the session.
