Children's dance from age 6 and modern dance from age 12
Yoga for teenagers from age 11
I am experienced in creative children's dance and contemporary dance.
The children and teenagers develop body awareness as they grow and gain a good understanding of movement and dance in space. Through movement, a healthy relationship with the body is developed, and a great group feeling can emerge.
Yoga for teenagers
Yoga for children and teenagers is about building a good body awareness. In a creative and humorous way, we learn stabilization and stretching exercises that help keep the body fit and strengthen and stretch tense muscles. The connection to breathing during the exercises is deepened and prolonged. Breathing exercises are learned so that the body can relax more and more. The metabolism is stimulated, health is improved, and a positive aura can be felt. Dance elements enrich the yoga classes and allow room for improvisation and creativity. Practicing together is fun and creates a great group feeling.
