How yoga is beneficial for children?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Parenting in today\u2019s world is full of challenges. It\u2019s not uncommon for parents to feel overwhelmed by their busy schedules and seemingly endless responsibilities. But, it is uncommon for us to think about how the demands of parenthood may also be overwhelming for our children. Our little people are strong and resilient. But they are often influenced by stressful situations just as much as big people. Many adults practice yoga for stress release and relaxation. And what about yoga for kids? Is it beneficial for children?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The answer to that question is: ABSOLUTELY. Introducing children to yoga is not only valuable for relaxation. It is valuable for sharing knowledge, building confidence, and developing communication skills.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Yoga Educates<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many Asanas (yoga postures) were named after animals and plants because they were created by yogis who lived close to nature. When children practice these asanas they will use their imagination as they embody the movements of a cobra or a butterfly, and sharpen basic skills as they count to ten while standing tall and strong like a tree.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.akshiyogashala.org\/hatha-ashtanga-vinyasa-yoga-teacher-training-rishikesh\/\"><strong>200 Hr Yoga TTC<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.akshiyogashala.org\/300-hour-yoga-teacher-training-in-rishikesh\/\"><strong>300 Hr Yoga TTC<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.akshiyogashala.org\/apply-for-scholarship\/\"><strong>Scholarship Programs<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Yoga Builds Self Esteem<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As a form of exercise, yoga is good for building coordination, flexibility and strength. What separates yoga from youth sports and other goal oriented physical activities is that it is noncompetitive. This creates a space for a child to experience control over their physical being and develop body awareness without any feelings of judgement or comparison.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Yoga Strengthens Communication<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Children may not be able to understand the complex and dynamic systems of human anatomy but they can experience their brain communicating with their body through yoga. As they alternate between Cat and Cow, they will be actively listening to, and speaking with, their bodies. After completion they will be able to talk about the different physical sensations they felt, adding an opportunity for them to verbalize the connection between their mind and body.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Yoga is Fun<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition to all the benefits mentioned above, let\u2019s not forget that yoga is really fun. Indeed, kids deserve time to play and let\u2019s be honest, a yoga mat is a playground. So next time you\u2019re looking for something to do with your kids, drop down into Lion\u2019s Pose, stick out your tongue, and let out a roar. Your pride will have some happy cubs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parenting in today\u2019s world is full of challenges.
