Youth + Sports

C change FOR YOUTH

C change can provide on-site training for educators to learn how to use yoga to support academic growth. Yoga helps children see the beauty and light of themselves, thereby boosting their self-confidence, allowing them to feel more comfortable with their bodies, and helping them get in touch with who they are inside.

C change FOR TEAM SPORTS AND ATHLETES

C change can provide flexibility, strength, and focus on all types of youth sports teams. A repetitive movement will eventually create muscular imbalances and lead to injury, but incorporating yoga into an existing routine can help athletes increase strength and avoid injury.
