Hurry....! This seems to be a mantra echoed in many homes by Moms everywhere.
We live in a fast paced world, we're over-worked, over-scheduled and very often, over-stressed. And so are our children. Between competition at school, sports, after-school activities and homework, kids often feel a great deal of pressure. Thankfully, there is a way to counteract that stress...without a trip to the doctor or pharmacy. Just as Yoga is beneficial to adults, so it is to children as well.
As both a yoga teacher and a mother, I can tell you first hand to tell children to yoga and are perfectly matched. Children's natural curiosity and flexibility, practice makes perfect for yoga. During one class session was / is much shorter than one class, an adult to be present, much of the same poses and principles can be applied. A half hour class is suitable for children. As they get older, their attention span increases and they become moreaccustomed to the practice, more time can be added.
The key is that it's fun. Children love animals presents ... if the children imitate movements and sounds in nature, they get a chance at a real connection to their world experience. In cats infected as children to see with a cat arches its back and are familiar with being able to imitate them with ease. With my children, I often make a game out of our yoga practice and playing "Simon Says" with yoga exercises. Bykeep it fun, not only does it keep their interest, but it also keeps her back for more.
Interspersing breathing techniques and relaxation is in the entire class gives children the chance to unwind and calm their minds capabilities that help them also in their daily lives. Exploiting the true reward of yoga. Children respond well to guided meditation / visualization, and it is the perfect way to end the class. Children are centered walk away from class feeling, and. calm
Remember that children learn best by example. If they see you regularly practiced yoga, then it will want to join in. What a wonderful way to spend quality family time with each other than to participate in something good for body, mind and soul.
Namaste
