More to Yoga Balls Than Just Yoga… or Orbular Decoration

yogaballThe ubiquitous yoga ball.  I have three.  I offer them a guilt-ridden, never used you for anything other than corner dressing loving glance everytime I pass them stacked precariously in the playroom.

But, as a homeschooling mom of three- two of them active, boisterous boys- I will certainly look at my otherwise under-utilized orbs (minds out of gutters, people!) a little differently after reading this.

It’s remarkable, really…

Kids learn better balancing on yoga balls.

The yoga balls provide cross-lateral movement as the kids’ bodies makes small adjustments to stay balanced on the balls. These small movements engage both sides of the brain, which makes their memories work better and helps them to stay focused.

Right on… from pummelling each other with them to actually sitting and learning on them.  Hello, Monday!

    Hello there, my name is Tina. I was on the lookout for a shipping provider through which I could ship my friend who moved away her Christmas present. I chose Swift-post.com and they did the job just as it should’ve been done. – Tina
