Art Excel: Yoga for ages 8-13 August 24, 2011

The true measure of success is a happy, healthy, well-adjusted child who is able to deal effectively with life's challenges. The ART Excel program provides children with the tools to do just that. A unique aspect of the program is a specific set of breathing techniques that systematically release emotional and physical stress. Children can use these techniques at any time to bring about a state of calm and relaxation.

ART Excel shows children how to become responsible but remain uninhibited, joyful, loving, creative and fun. Throughout the course children have the opportunity to explore values such as acceptance of others, compassion, respect, trust, and selfless giving. Emphasis is placed on hands on activities like service projects, which allow them to experience concepts they are discussing first hand.

The program includes:
• games
• yoga and breathing techniques
• creative projects
• problem-solving strategies
• leadership training
• service projects
