As any parent knows, getting little kids to relax, sit still and concentrate can be an close to an impossible task.

With this in mind, activities like yoga and meditation where relaxation, slowing down and remaining still are required, would seem an odd choice for children aged five to 12.

But at Koomail Tardy Community Centre in Truganina on January 23 that’s exactly what happened.

Children took time out from their school holidays to practice yoga and meditation under the guidance of instructor Jennifer Trang from Soul Space.

Ms Trang led the kids through Asanas, Pranayamas, Sun Salutations and various other yoga, meditation and mindfulness techniques during the hour long class.

Soul Space is a non-profit organisation targeting the physical and mental well-being of individuals through activities like yoga, meditation and well-being workshops.

They offer classes for children and adults at community centres throughout Wyndham and are always on the lookout for volunteers.
