Encouraging children to practice yoga! 

Kids of 4- 12 years have very sharp brains and therefore they grasp up everything quickly.

If good values and manners are taught to kids at their tender age they grow up well with it. Regular practice of yoga, benefits adults then encouraging children for yoga, will definitely brighten their future. 

Learning just yoga might seem to be boring for them at the beginning. But one must understand their maturity level and include stories and games, either in the start of the session or at the end. This would encourage them to do yoga and continue it for the long run. I have even observed that kids become so much fond of this art that they try to experiment to extent their capability. 

Suryanamaskar, develops overall physic of children. They become more flexible because Suryanamaskar. It gives proper forward as well as backward stretch. With regular practice the energy which kids use for destruction will tactfully be diverted into something more meaningful and it would defiantly prove helpful for them.



If one really want to understand the benefits of yoga in one- liners, they are as follows:

  •  Asana's increase core strength, flexibility and strengthen developing muscles of kids. 
  • Pranayam's has numerous benefits like it enhances breathing capacity with eventually leds to proper circulation of blood to brain and other body parts. 
  • Meditation no doubt increases concentration but it also brings in stability and improve one's thinking ability. 


Yoga should be learned under proper guidance of expertise in the field.
