Yoga continues to be an increasingly popular lifestyle activity around the world because of the numerous benefits it offers those who practice it. It’s not just for adults, though. It’s about time you introduced your children to yoga as they also stand to benefit greatly from it. Here are a few reasons why yoga is good for kids.

 

It helps them develop flexibility and build strength

Children today spend a lot of time in front of the screen, be it for schoolwork or entertainment. Yoga is an effective way for them to avoid leading a completely sedentary lifestyle. It helps them develop flexibility and increase their core strength. In most cases, children are either flexible or strong, but they’re usually not both. They can achieve this through yoga.

It sets them on a path to a living lifestyle

The benefits of yoga to kids aren’t limited to the present. It is one of the habits that are beneficial far into the future, especially when it is practiced daily. Some of the ways yoga achieves this in children include helping them prevent obesity (through weight control) and enabling them to maintain a healthy metabolism. The practice is also known to be useful for eschewing heart disease and diabetes.

It helps them reduce anxiety

It’s a well-known fact that yoga has a calming effect. Yoga practitioners experience an uplift in their mood after a session because certain it causes the release of neurotransmitters that are linked with reduced anxiety and stress. Adults are not the only ones who experience these effects. Children prone to anxiety stand to gain a lot from yoga too.

It can improve their academic performance

Among the most lauded rewards of practicing yoga is improved mental focus. Compared to adults, kids are more easily distracted. Yoga improves a person’s ability to concentrate by reducing stress and centering the person through proper breathing. With improved focus, children can absorb and retain more information, and this will likely be reflected in their academic performance.

It teaches them to take charge of their bodies

Yoga can play an important role in training kids how to be aware of their bodies and how to care for them. The children can learn to listen to their bodies and hone in on pain or discomfort caused by lack of proper sleep, for example. Listening to and taking care of one’s body is arguably one of the most important life skills which have a direct impact on the quality of life. The sooner a child learns how to do it, the better. Just make sure that they use a top rated yoga mat so that they execute the poses well.

It teaches them to take charge of their thoughts

When children practice mindfulness and yoga on a daily basis, they become keenly aware of the connection between their body and mind. Cultivating such awareness is the first step for them to learn how not to be enslaved by negative and unproductive thoughts and feelings.

Getting your kids started with yoga

If your kids’ school doesn’t offer yoga classes, you can start them out at home. There are plenty of yoga resources online dedicated to children. With careful research, you can identify a YouTube channel by qualified yoga instructors that have developed yoga routines for kids. Alternatively, you can purchase videos and play them offline.
