YogiRascals launches in Kensington

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Yoga isn’t just for adults, now little people can enjoy its benefits too at YogiRascals (www.yogirascals.com), the only yoga & activity centre for kids, opening 16th September at Basement flat 87 Abingdon Road, W8 6AW.Yogi Rascals Kensington

Founded by Ladan Sattaripour, who has been teaching yoga to children since 2006 after being a Montessori nursery teacher for many years working both here and in Madrid, she holds teaching certificates through ‘June’s Yoga,’ which is registered with the Wheel of Yoga, Karma Kids Yoga and Little Flower Yoga.

Yogi Rascals fits in well with the Montessori ethos; whereby one should ‘follow each child’s individual needs.’ According to Maria Montessori, children should not be rewarded or punished. At Yogi Rascals success is not measured on a grading system but on achievement resulting in happy, healthy children!

Participation in Yoga has been linked to the improvement in conditions of asthma, diabetes, ADD, ADHD, insomnia, anxiety and many other health problems. Yoga promotes strength, flexibility, co-ordination and body awareness. Breathing techniques teach children how to focus, relax and develop self control.
Ladan’s yoga training is influenced by both American and European methods, resulting in a unique form of different exercises specially adapted for young bodies. Her enthusiasm and energy is evident in her teaching, bringing a new twist to a classic discipline.

In addition to Yoga, the school offers classes in ballet, streetdance, theatre/music, kickboxing and baby classes.
