Little Yogis - Play yoga for children
Yoga is emerging as a powerful, simple, fun tool to help children manage better in their daily lives, and feel well in the bodies and minds.
Using games, stories and interactive activities, the children learn concentration skills, effective breathing techniques to calm and balance, and appropriate yoga forms for their age.
Nell Lindsell (Founder of YogaBugs) explains that regular practice of yoga can reap these rewards for our children:
• Breathing exercises improve concentration and energy levels
• Relaxation techniques clear the mind, allowing for better memory retention
• Postures help recharge a weak immune system and strengthen the core, stabilizing muscles in the abdomen and back.
• Posture work also helps tone the body and reduce obesity, maintaining a child’s natural flexibility which can start to shut down from an early age.
• Yoga classes help develop creativity and self expression, and improves self-confidence through vocalization techniques and postures designed to release day-to-day anxieties.
• The practice of yoga improves co-ordination and balance, promotes healthy sleep patterns and allows children to explore their intuitive and spiritual side.
