Why Choose Bali Yoga Center for Family Yoga?
Bali’s serene environment and wellness culture make it ideal for yoga. In Ubud—Bali’s cultural heart known for rice terraces and arts—our center combines traditional Balinese wisdom with safe, modern teaching. We’re proud to offer:
- Skilled, Child-Safe Instructors: Certified teachers specialize in kids yoga, making each session engaging and secure.
- Welcoming, Kid-Friendly Space: Our studio is clean and designed for young yogis. Families can relax in a supportive, playful setting where children feel they belong.
- Daily Classes: Convenient 1-hour sessions run every day at 11:30 am–12:30 pm. This midday slot fits right into your Bali holiday schedule. It’s the perfect break for kids on vacation, keeping them happily active without interrupting family plans.
- Family Participation: Parents are welcome to join in. Practicing together boosts bonding – “isn’t it fun to join our yoga classes for beginners – Hatha, gentle flow – with your kids?”, as the Bali Yoga Center invites. Multi-age classes let siblings and parents practice side by side.
- Great Value & Discounts: Sessions are affordable (around 250k IDR per child, with adult accompaniment available), with lower rates for multiple-bookings. We offer transparent pricing and no hidden fees, so families can enjoy guilt-free wellness together.
- Central Ubud Location: Based in Ubud, Bali Yoga Center is easy to reach from anywhere on the island. Ubud is about 1–2 hours from the main airport, so even families staying in South Bali (Seminyak, Kuta, Canggu) can make a fun day trip to our studio.
Kids Yoga Class Highlights
Our one-hour classes are packed with activities kids love. Each session is a mix of:
- Energetic Warm-Ups: Gentle stretches and light movements to wake up little bodies.
- Playful Yoga Poses: Learning basic poses through imagination and games. For example, children explore Tree Pose, Downward-Facing Dog, Cat-Cow, Cobra, and more, all taught in a fun, age-appropriate way.
- Breathing Games: Simple breathwork like “Bunny Breath” or “Lion’s Breath” that teach kids to focus and calm themselves. These playful exercises introduce mindfulness—growing evidence shows even young children significantly improve attention and calmness through such practices.
- Yoga Stories & Games: Each class may include a short yoga story or game. Kids go on mini “yoga adventures” where they act out animals or characters in poses. This keeps them laughing while they build strength and flexibility.
- Mini Relaxation: We end with a brief guided relaxation or visualization. Kids imagine peaceful scenes (like flying with butterflies or floating on clouds) to cultivate calmness and focus. This gentle wind-down helps with emotional regulation by teaching children simple mindfulness.
Benefits of Yoga for Children
Yoga does more than stretch bodies—it nurtures young minds and spirits. Research and child psychology emphasize how movement and mindfulness help kids thrive. Key benefits include:
- Sharper Focus: Yoga’s emphasis on breath and body awareness trains kids to pay attention. Studies show even kindergartners who practice yoga significantly improve their attention spans and concentration. This can translate into better focus at school and in play.
- Emotional Balance: Through fun breathing exercises and mindfulness, children learn to identify and manage feelings. Yoga can reduce anxiety and stress, helping kids stay calmer. One expert notes yoga “reduces anxiety” and gives children relaxation tools they carry into daily life.
- Physical Strength & Flexibility: Yoga poses gently strengthen muscles and improve posture. Poses like Downward Dog and Warrior build core strength, while stretches enhance flexibility. Overall, yoga supports healthy growth—improving balance, coordination and body awareness.
- Boosted Confidence: Every new pose is an accomplishment! Mastering fun yoga postures and challenges builds self-esteem. Kids feel proud learning poses, which fosters a positive body image and self-acceptance in a non-competitive setting.
- Social & Team Skills: Classes encourage cooperation and patience. Partner poses and group games in our sessions teach kids to work together and be mindful of others. This boosts empathy and positive social interaction.
- Mindfulness & Calm: Regular yoga helps children practice being present. Over time, kids develop self-awareness (knowing their limits and when to relax), which aids emotional resilience. Parents often notice their children become more settled and calm after a few classes.
