Yoga for Kids
With such positive benefits for children, schools in Britain and America are incorporating regular yoga sessions in to educational fitness programs. By using imaginative words for yoga poses, usually those of an animal, bird or insect, teachers believe yoga for kids can foster a child's creativity. In addition to building a foundation for fitness and well being, children learn how to deal with choices and feelings. Unlike team sports such as football or basketball, in which both players and parents can get aggressively competitive, in yoga, the individual competes only with him or herself.
More than ever before, children are under tremendous amounts of stress from school, peer rivalry and expectations from the media. With regular yoga practice, children as young as three can be educated to look after their bodies, learn to relax and value their environment with yoga for kids.
We offer a selection of yoga kits, yoga dvds and yoga books to introduce children of all ages to yoga.
