Little YOGIS

It’s pretty challenging to be a kid these days, says Beth Borowsky, founder of The Karma Class – an online space offering yoga, breath and mindfulness classes to both preschools and primary schools.

“With the onslaught of social media and its distractions, temptations and tendency to overstimulate young brains, as well as peer and school pressure, children are showing early signs of stress and stress-related challenges,” Beth says. And all this was before the COVID-19 pandemic.

If recently you’ve noticed changes in your child’s behaviour or mood – perhaps their sleep is affected, they have become more clingy or maybe they’re acting out in ways you’ve never seen before – it could be a sign of stress or anxiety. However, giving them the tools to manage these feelings will go a long way towards their future.
