What can children and parents gain from practicing Yoga together?
Mommy and Me Yoga classes offer a chance for families to bond, while children are impressionable.
When should I start teaching Yoga to my son or daughter?
Any time is fine, as long as you make it fun. For parents, this is the beginning of learning how to guide without discouraging. Yoga will teach children life skills, such as stress reduction, anger management, goal setting, and enhance athletic ability.
What can children and parents gain from practicing Yoga together?
Like any activity, Yoga can be practiced at an early age.
Some babies will copy what they see, and you should never expect too much from any child. Children will learn Yoga much better in a patient environment. Children have a lifetime to learn the many benefits of Yoga. Surprisingly, most children of all ages will demonstrate Yoga techniques they learn at home.
Mommy and Me Yoga classes will contain many of the following :
Yoga music, kids music, singing, basic Pranayama, coloring books, theme Yoga classes, Asanas, mixing dance movement with Yoga, drawing with crayons, story telling, Yoga games, focusing drills, relaxation techniques, meditation, and lots of fun.
The greatest benefit of all for children is the ability to control their own attention span. Parents should let the Yoga instructor lead the class. This seems obvious, but you would be surprised how often parents can be counter productive to children's activities. If you have a Mommy and Me Yoga class in your area, it is worth signing up.
