Yoga taught at an early age helps inculcate Self Management in children. It also makes them self reliant and ready to deal with their day-to-day stress, relating from various factors like peer pressure and education. Yoga ensures both physical and mental growth for your child.

Benefits of Yoga for Children:

• Yoga increases flexibility in children. It increases strength, stamina, agility, balance, coordination and cardiovascular fitness in children.
• It enhances child’s body alignment, resulting into less chance of severe injuries.
• It promotes concentration and self-discipline. For example breathing exercise teaches children to deepen and slow down their breath and be calm and inwardly focused.
• It strengthens communication skills in children and fosters confidence. They will learn to co-ordinate and co-operate better with everyone.
• Yoga will also harbor good listening skills and compassion for others.
• It boosts children’s creativity and imagination to its peak and teaches self- expression.

Children have to be handled differently. Learning can not be imposed on children, instead it should be taught through group activities. This can be attained in Yoga. Yoga taught to children through group activities and games helps them absorb all the above mentioned qualities. Once inculcated, these values stay intact for life long.
