Kids can learn the meditating poses of yoga this summer with special events from Sing Song Yoga coming to West Michigan this summer.

Sing Song Yoga is a kids’ musical yoga program in which song lyrics instruct children on how to get into the poses. Children resonate with music and movement, allowing kids to remember yoga poses easier.

Yoga can help children:

  • Improve their focus
  • Increase body awareness and where it is in space (called proprioception)
  • Gain self-confidence while building coordination and skill level (including balance - vestibular system)
  • Tends to have a calming effect on the body

• Howard Miller Library in Zeeland: June 29, 10 a.m.
• Norton Shores Library in Muskegon: June 13, 2 p.m.
