Yoga gives kids the boost they need to be stronger, healthier and happier!
Children who do yoga have:
Stronger immune systems. They get sick less.
Better concentration. They become calmer and learn to focus longer.
Improved confidence and athletic ability. Yoga promotes coordination and positive body image.
More sound character. Children learn to be more thoughtful and positive towards themselves and others.
Less stress. Children learn valuable tools for handling everyday challenges. They’re less anxious.
Greater ability to get a good night’s sleep.
Regarding the enormous benefits of yoga to children, a Yoga Journal article notes:
“Our children live in a hurry-up world of busy parents, school pressures, incessant lessons, video games, malls, and competitive sports. We usually don't think of these influences as stressful for our kids, but often they are. The bustling pace of our children's lives can have a profound effect on their innate joy—and usually not for the better….
Yoga can help counter these pressures. When children learn techniques for self-health, relaxation, and inner fulfillment, they can navigate life's challenges with a little more ease. Yoga at an early age encourages self-esteem and body awareness with a physical activity that's noncompetitive. Fostering cooperation and compassion—instead of opposition—is a great gift to give our children.”
The article continues: “Yoga benefits children physically, enhancing their flexibility, strength, coordination and body awareness. In addition, their concentration and sense of calmness and relaxation improves. Doing yoga, children exercise, play, connect more deeply with the inner self, and develop an intimate relationship with the natural world that surrounds them. Yoga brings that marvelous inner light that all children have to the surface.”
