Brain Development for Young Yogis, with Dr. Linda Chamberlain

Understanding how the brain develops is an important foundation for teaching yoga to children and adolescents.  Students will learn the profound impact of mind-body practices on healthy brain development during this time of major brain remodelling and windows of activity. Special focus will be placed on the exploration of the pathway of stress and fear through the brain and why, from a neurodevelopmental perspective, loving kindness and interoceptive skills should be incorporated into yoga with preschoolers and young children.  

This workshop will highlight user-friendly content, micro-practices and tools that can be shared with caregivers and children. Participants will get to meet Dr. Linda’s crew of puppets that are dedicated to empowering children by teaching them how their brains work. We will all get to explore our inner child through meditation, journaling, and small group discussion.
