Yoga or mindfulness classes for kids/tweens?

[Anonymous]

I’m curious to hear about any succcess stories for kids with anxiety or ADHD - I’ve read that these kinds of classes are helpful for focus and relieving anxiety - anyone have success with this, and, if so, where was your DC’s class?

Circle Yoga in Chevy Chase DC and Willow Street Yoga in Takoma Park have these classes for teens.

Circle Yoga has kids classes too. Not sure about Willow Street.

Mindfulness techniques - even without a class - have been helpful for my child with mild ADHD and my child with mild perfectionist/anxiety issues. We did do a couple classes at Circle Yoga, but mostly have used apps and different techniques. It's most helpful during the calming down before bedtime to turn off the brain and get to bed.

Can you share the techniques and/or apps that are most helpful?

Sun & Moon Yoga in Fairfax has a kids class that is very good.
