Kids Love YOGA!

From birth children “do” Yoga. They reach and grasp their feet pulling them into the body (happy baby pose). They rock side to side. They began to roll belly to back. They sit back onto their legs (child poses). All of these movements prepare and strengthen the organs, tendons, muscles, and nervous system. As children grow their play naturally incorporates more advanced movements and poses such as lying on the back and bringing the feet over the head (plow). Unfortunately children are not always allowed the time or place to practice these movements. As they grow older, the body begins to tighten and forget its natural state.

A children’s Yoga class not only allows them to move and stretch their bodies but also their imaginations and compassionate hearts. Children are reminded that they are wonderful blessings and that they have amazing gifts to share with the world. Their thoughts, ideas, and feelings can be clearly expressed and accepted with Love, not judgment or labels.

Children remind us of the meaning of the word “asana” (a comfortable seat). Their happiness does not rely upon how far they stretch or what the person next to them is doing. The joy comes from within. By giving children a safe place to experience Yoga (unity) we support their natural state of health and well being.
