Yoga – Asanas and Breathwork
Yoga is a holistic system that helps in the overall development of an individual. We truly believe that sooner an individual is introduced to yoga, the better human beings they turn out to be.
The dynamic practices, surya namaskar and asanas help in the physical development. Yoga plays an important role in developing their fine and gross motor skills which are essential in their activities.
Different kinds of breathing practices and OM chanting helps in making them less impulsive and more calm. It also helps improve their focus in daily activities.
Yogic aspects like expression of Gratitude,treating people around with love and care, wishing well for everyone, being happy and content and many more aspects at an early age helps to tone down the extreme emotions and help find balance.
We wish to enhance their life experience with good physical, mental and emotional health, the Yoga way.

Theatre
Learners explore the world of performing arts through theatre. They develop their creativity, communication skills, and confidence by participating in acting workshops, stage productions, and improvisation exercises. Theatre helps young children to develop their own creative expression and imagination. Creative plays also help in social and emotional development.
Pretending to be other characters gives children the tools to express and cope with their emotions.
