Within every child, there is a drive to develop sensory integration. They need to run, jump, roll, push, spin, swing and touch to develop new motor functions which will be the foundation for more complex thinking. But a new way of looking at your child’s behaviour and ability to learn is needed. Did you know that we have 7 senses? Sight, sound, taste, smell, touch, vestibular and the proprioceptive sense. You can think of these seven senses as food for the brain. It’s our senses that provide information to our mind and body. Think of jumping on a trampoline – the information you get from your feet, skin, eyes, ears, joints, all blend together to form the whole experience. Sensory information forms the underlying foundation for academic learning and social behaviour. Research indicates that today’s children do not move enough to get these sensory experiences so any opportunity you get, let them move and feed the brain!
The Little Gym’s curriculum features a variety of program full of fitness, movement, music, play, learning and laughter for children between the ages of 4 months to 12 years. Each class at The Little Gym is built off the philosophy that children should experience success in a fun, non-competitive environment that enhances the physical, social, and emotional skills needed at each stage of childhood. Every child learns and develops at their own pace. The Little Gym’s focus for their Primary School Gymnastics classes is to give your child the chance to tackle new challenges at their own skill level with a lot of fun being involved. Celebrated with cheers and high-fives, each new achievement leads to newfound confidence, determination and a desire to continue improving oneself.
Also, popular programs offered at The Yard of Bandra (Studio Space – a part of The Little Gym of Bandra) include dance, yoga, robotics, and Zumba for children & adults.

Instructors and Care
Their instructors & trainers are all professional Gymnastics, Mallakhamb players and/or masters in kid’s psychology. They use positive reinforcement, creative music and individual attention as tools to develop a love for gymnastics and other physical activities among children.
With the entire building belonging to The Little Gym of Bandra, the safety & security of the children is easily taken care of.
At The Little Gym of Bandra, fun is an integral part of the exercises, so different age groups are given quirky names such as Bugs, Birds, Beasts, Funny Bugs and Twisters. It’s been just a short while since the gym has opened its doors, but they have tied-up with few schools around and are looking forward to tie-up with more schools across the city to take learning to a whole new level for children.
