About
My daughter calls herself a yogi. She asker for 'special' yoga clothes for Christmas, and wants to put her name
on my mat. She even asked me if we could do yoga together in the mornings, while everyone else is asleep.
She is 6. Her enthusiam is a testament to Bija's inspiring teachings. I see how this filters into my daughter's
daily life. When she tells her brother 'just breathe' if he's having a moment; when she puts her hands on her
belly before she falls asleep to feel her breath go all the way down; when she jumps so gracefully and poised
over puddles. Lauren at Bija is doing a wonderful thing, inspiring our little ones with her teaching, introducing
them to the wonders of yoga in such a way that the effects cannot but ripple into their daily lives.

Why Yoga For Children?
Yoga provides children of all ages with invaluable tools that lay the foundation for a
healthy, peaceful and happy life. Through yoga children gain increased focus,
discipline, a healthy body image, flexibility, strength, and techniques for dealing with
stress. Yoga practices also develop self awareness and coping skills while providing
a great physical workout in a nurturing, non-competitive environment.
The Bija Mission
To give children and their families valuable life tools through the practice of yoga.
