The Life is Yoga Programme aims to encompass activities which will harmoniously enhance and bring out the physical, the emotional, the mental, the social and spiritual aspects of the child. The children will actively engage in age appropriate activities which will be presented to them in a fun filled and playful way, as this is the way children learn. The activities will be integrated into the daily class timetable and be aligned to the learning outcomes as set by The Western Cape Department of Education and Department of Social Development.
