Bee Yoga Kids

Bee Yoga Kids Bee Yoga Kids is a provider of children's yoga between the ages of 3-12 in Ballito, KZN, South Africa run by Berenice Bredenkamp. Everyone is welcome.

Bee Yoga Kids offers classes to children between the ages of 3 - 12. They are introduced to the wonderful world of yoga by tapping into their creativity and imaginations through the use of storytelling, imagery, music, games, breathing techniques, positive mind-training and relaxation techniques. Children learn how to move and stretch their bodies in a fluid yet fun way, imitating animals, places and nature which enables them to develop body awareness, strength and flexibility, core strength, posture, co-ordination and balance. They learn different types of breathing skills which can either be energizing or relaxing, and how by controlling their breath they can control their emotions and state of being which in-turn helps reduce stress and anxiety. Classes are taught in a non-competitive environment where everyone is seen as equal. Kindness and acceptance of themselves and others as well as caring for the environment is promoted and taught by incorporating "Mindfulness". The aim is to offer a safe, joyful environment where children can come and just Bee!!!

Bee Yoga

An holistic approach to promote health and wellness using yoga, pilates and mindfulness exercises within schools and the community. Children are bombarded with sensory overload of information in a fast pace, competitive world leaving them overwhelmed and out of balance. The aim of Bee Yoga is to balance the mind, body and emotional well-being of children.

Initially when Bee Yoga first started I was focused on improving the physical body with the idea of getting children to move in a more fluid, functional fun way with yoga and pilates inspired movements focusing on building up their core strength, balance, co-ordination, proprioception (body awareness), improving sensory and motor development thereby improving muscle tone, flexibility and over all strength in a fun, non-competitive environment.

Then I did my Kids Yoga teacher training, began to deepen my own yoga practice I started to latch on to the idea of “Mindfulness” ...

By captivating children for 30 - 45 min out of their day-to-day lives where they can go on a journey of self-discovery, using their imaginations, focus on being in the present moment and going internally in a child friendly manner. Mindfulness teaches children how to tune in on their breath, their bodies, their senses, holding particular poses which require balance, co-ordination and skill, therefore improving their concentration and focus. It has been shown that yoga and mindfulness techniques can help children with ADHD, autism, sensory processing disorders and improve the cognitive and motor development of children.
