Parents nowadays are faced with myriad challenges in raising children who are aware of their health, their bodies and their minds from an early age. Aside from the classic distractions of being a kid, growing up and finding oneself in the process, children over the age of 11 are subject to influences – physical, social and even chemical – that can pose dangers beyond the most well-meaning parents comprehension. 

The practice of Yoga can help improve your child’s chances toward pursuing a more wholesome, healthy lifestyle and to that end we recommend that parents among our Bestrentnj.com residents at Bayonne Bay, make their Yoga session a family affair. That’s easily done by attending the Bayonne Public Libraries bi-monthly Evening Yoga Class (11 years and up) that starts in January 2026 on January 7 and continues on January 21 @ 7pm in the libraries Gallery area. 

The benefits of Yoga are well documented but here are some suggestions on how to engage your young one(s) in the practice; 

  • FOCUS ON FUN: Don’t aim for the perfect pose – just kick back and enjoy being there together! 
  • INCLUSIVE TEACHING: Your instructor should be aware by adapting poses to fit all ages and abilities which by the way is the clear modus of this particular instructors classes.
  • REPLACE SCREEN-TIME: Promote your joint participation as an holistic  alternative to technology or family TV time.
