Children are born Yogis and Yoga naturally manifests in their supple bodies. If you have ever noticed small children, they spontaneously do Yoga poses all the time naturally. Yoga is a way of living. It is an ancient science which helps to create health and well-being by building awareness, strength, and flexibility in both mind and body. The question is: does Yoga hold these benefits for children as well? The answer is Yes, and more. Sure, a Yoga class with children will be a bit more active, playful and a lot more fun than your typical adult Yoga class but the benefits are the same.
Children today are under a tremendous amount of stress from school, their environment, peer competition and expectations all around. Stress affects the way children learn and interact with their surroundings. It affects their health, wellbeing and confidence. Introducing your children to Yoga at an early age can help ease the everyday stresses and pressures of their lives & also can help them learn healthy lifestyle habits and set the foundation for a fit future.
