Get to Know Us
Jungle Yoga is a fun activity club designed for children and teens.
Through playful movement and interactive activities we help kids develop mindfulness, creativity, resilience and confidence.
We work in community centres and schools to bring yoga and mindfulness to children in our local community.
Benefits of yoga for children
All our classes are suitable for beginners and full of playful movements and fun, engaging games. We combine these with mindful and self-affirming activities, creative crafts, thought provoking short stories, songs and poems to promote children's holistic development.
There is NO expectation or requirement for anyone to be sitting still & quiet! All classes encourage children to be active and have fun.
