As believers in a holistic approach to childhood development and youth empowerment, Mates on Mats offers fun, accessible Yoga and Mindfulness engagement as a precursor to Chess instruction and competitions to children ages 6-11. As Yoga has proven in numerous studies to deepen the mind-body connection, our innovative enrichment programs are specially designed for children to develop a healthy sense of confidence, resilience and inner strength: arguably the most important qualities to instill during early childhood. We accomplish this by weaving together the highly practical philosophy of Yoga postures, breath techniques and meditation with the mental game of Chess to cultivate their most innate skills: critical thinking, strategy, problem-solving, foresight, memory, concentration, patience, self-regulation, and emotional intelligence. Moreover, they will leave our programs, tournaments and retreats with a foundation of sacred principles in their hearts meant to be shared with others: humility, conscious communication, personal responsibility, camaraderie, and service. These values hold the true magic of your child's future contributions as a well-rounded member of our global community.
