YOGA

Put your kids on the fast track to health this summer by signing them up for yoga classes with Yoga Kids. At this centre, trainer Shraddha Setalvad focuses on teaching it as a discipline rather than as a class. Children can benefit from the 3Fs programme which comprises Fitness, Focus and Fun, and is a holistic combination of the body, mind and energy. It helps in improving working capability in a group, physical fitness and strengthening the memory power. This programme has been designed for children so they can enjoy yoga, and not just treat it as a form of exercise. Aasanas and breathing are first introduced through the medium of stories and gradually a sequence is created. They are also taught Sanskrit terminology for numbers and names of asanas. Children who cannot attend the course can buy yoga DVDS by Setalvad. HIGHLIGHTS Yoga helps strengthen the child’s immune system. The Yoga Kids kit which is part of the course comprises flash cards, Surya Namaskar flip books, a specially illustrated Yoga Kids text book— an aid to help children delve deeper into the subject. COST Rs 2,800 for eight weeks WHERE City Studio, C- 4 Chinoy Mansion, Warden Road TEL 9820349688
