When 5-year-old Olivia Frimpong learned how the ‘Calming Hands’ technique could make her “feel happy when she’s sad”, her mother, Patience Frimpong, couldn’t be more proud about this remarkable improvement. Olivia, along with other children, practiced yoga through the Yoga and Mindfulness program designed and offered by Ivy Child International.
In a fast-paced media age where children are affected by excessive electronic distractions, this program focuses on enhancing children’s awareness, imagination, empathy and combats stress and anxiety.
Rose Pavlov, Founder, President and CEO of Ivy Child, says that this unique yoga and mindfulness program is designed to enhance awareness and appreciation within children and their surroundings. “A key component draws on inspiring and developing a deeper connection with their environment through nature,” says Pavlov.
In January 2012, Ivy Child International led the Gabriel Valentine Felix Yoga and Mindfulness for Kids at the Salmon Center for Early Education. Shirley Sherman, Director of the Salmon Center for Early Education, said that the program is unique because numerous developmental domains are targeted within one lesson.
“Gross motor skills, listening skills, following directions, music appreciation, expressive language, self-regulation skills and social-emotional development are incorporated into the 60-minute class,” said Sherman.
Professional yoga practitioners conduct the classes and Ivy Child representatives record the quality and progress of each class. Classes include learning mindfulness practices through synchronized yoga postures in a journey of exploring the environment and nature.
