“The best way to make children fall in love with yoga is to do it through play”
In the last 50 years, yoga has become very popular all around the globe and people are fascinated to learn yoga at its roots. More people have an understanding of the benefits it brings to its practitioners, and given that there are so many variations there is a type of yoga for everyone, but what about kids?
Is there Yoga even for the kids?? The Answer is yes…
When yoga is presented using a child’s language and their incredible ability, enthusiasm and imagination then yoga based classes will teach children about the power within themselves, physically and mentally. It will give children a lifetime toolbox of techniques to; self-calm, energise, be in the moment and accept – traits which can help navigate life’s challenges.
Why is yoga important for kids?
Concentration
When a child practices yoga he tends to place his eyes on different parts of the body in order to achieve the asana. This action in itself increases concentration and develops the capacity of the brain to focus. Clarity of mind is achieved through concentration and therefore, intellectually, the children can reap the benefits of yoga.
Breathing
Children should practice deep breathing to help them throughout the day, whether they’re feeling overwhelmed or anxious, need to relax or go to sleep, to calm their body after exercising, or even just to pause and reset when they are high energy. Taking deep, deliberate breaths can calm a person physically and mentally. Deep breathing techniques activate the parasympathetic nervous system (part of the nervous system that controls reactions to stress), as well as redirect the mind to a simple task, distracting from anxious thoughts.
Physical activity
It is easier to form healthy habits at an earlier age than trying to modify them later, so starting children in yoga earlier in life will increase their chances of adopting it as a permanent (and even preferred) activity over time. Technology has brought with it a more sedentary life, and children are not immune. It is therefore extremely important to encourage physical activity. Yoga for kids has the advantage of being very adaptable.
Confidence
Yoga helps children to be more confident and strengthen their willpower and children who do yoga regularly are calmer, less impulsive and aggressive, and better able to deal with stressors. It helps to elevate and foster a child’s self expression, imagination and self confidence skills, as they are in a safe space to explore without judgment or a sense of right or wrong.
