AGES 4-8: Children in this age group benefit greatly from the focus and gentleness that yoga brings in a time when kids mind’s tend to be over-stimulated by television, computer games, and today’s fast paced lifestyle. This class stimulates creativity, regulates adrenal glands to better control times of possible aggression or excitability, tones all internal organs and promotes health, builds coordination, strength, and agility, and equalizes energy.

AGES 9-12: This class strives to increase concentration for students, improving in all areas including schoolwork. Practicing yoga will aid in balancing out the pineal and pituitary glands to correct any sadness or gloominess that girls may experience at this age. Yoga also helps to create a healthy body image, improves posture, instills the ability to relax, and provides a healthy way to experiment and take risks. It cultivates a sense of gratitude; enables letting go of the tendency to be critical of one’s self and judgmental of others. Children will learn to calm themselves and better manage stress. The class will assist in building self-esteem and creating a connection with their own body, environment, and the food they eat. Kids who practice yoga also tend to choose better foods to eat and are able to engage in more physical activity than those who do not.

TEEN YOGA: Yoga improves performance in sporting activities like baseball, softball, soccer, football, cheerleading, ballet, tennis, etc. It improves circulation, digestion, and respiration to provide more energy. Yoga for teens increases flexibility and builds balance, promotes self-awareness, increases focus, and relieves stress. Teens that practice yoga learn to better regulate their own emotions. For girls, yoga will aid in establishing an easy and regular menstrual cycle. This class explores ways to honor yourself, others, and all living things. For teenagers, the intensity and duration of the asanas can be increased during practice, as well as focusing on breath control. Yoga for Teens is a great way to meet new people, socialize, and have a lot of fun.

A new session of Starfish Swim School children’s classes starts in March at The Chatham County Aquatic Center. Registration deadline is this Mon. Feb. 23.

A variety of classes are offered, including Starbabies for ages 6 months to 36 months. That class helps such very young children develop a high comfort level in the water while at the same time training parents in water safety. My son has taken several Starbabies sessions and loves it.

The goal isn’t to get toddlers to do the butterfly stroke, but to get them comfortable putting their face in the water, kicking, blowing bubbles and sometimes even learning how to climb out of the pull and jump in.

One parent must be in the water with each child. Be prepared for lots of singing (”Splashes. Splashes. We all blow bubbles….”) Starbabies sessions offered include Tuesdays/Thursdays or Saturdays. Click here for a schedule.

Other classes include:

SeaSprites for ages 3-5: swim skills through creative water activities.
SeaStars for ages 6-8: core swimming skills and the opportunity to progress to advanced strokes;
SwimStars for ages 9 and older: swimming skills, water safety, water sports and adventure learning activities.
StrokeStars for any age that meets the skills requirement: refine freestyle and learn stroke technique for backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and more.

Classes cost $50 for non members and $38 for members. Call 912.652.6793. Learn more by clicking here. The Chatham County Aquatic Center is @ 7420 Sallie Mood
