“Yoga overrides the stress response. When we do yoga, we develop mental and physical focus, strength, balance, flexibility and overall health. Yoga facilitates connections. Our abilities to manage our emotions and reactions, to focus and concentrate, and to calm and center ourselves are improved. Yoga invites us to tap into our innate joy, love and peace – for ourselves, others and the world as a whole.“
– Yoga for Children by Lisa Flynn
