Throughout my years of teaching, I discovered an effective combination of moviment and artistic expression that has shown remarkable positive results in supporting children's development. Yoga is a fantastic tool that benefits children of all ages, helping them feel more grounded and connected to their bodies and emotions. The true aim of yoga is to promote integration and unity. However, when yoga is effective but an additional boost of creativity is needed, that's where cra

Our children are growing up at a "binary pace." While digital literacy is important, we are witnessing a growing gap: the more time children spend behind screens, the less they connect with their own bodies and their ability to solve concrete, physical problems.

Have you ever noticed how a baby pushes up on their tiny arms and proudly lifts their head to look around? That moment is more than adorable—it’s the beginning of Bhujangasana , or the Cobra Pose. Long before children step onto a yoga mat, their bodies are naturally wired to move in ways that build strength, balance, and focus. From a developmental perspective, this gentle backbend during tummy time strengthens the neck, shoulders, and upper back—muscles that are key for post

As the end of the year approaches, celebrations fill our calendars — school events, family gatherings, and lots of parties. While these moments are full of joy, they often come with a hidden guest that can easily sneak onto our plates (and into our children’s moods): sugar . We all love to see our little ones happy, but have you ever noticed how quickly excitement can turn into restlessness after a sugary treat?
