Yoga For Kids

December 6, 2022 by Jeremy Silverstein Leave a Comment

Life is stressful. Nowadays, such stress is being noted much younger as more and more school-age children are experiencing anxiety at school, as well as feeling rising tensions at home. To help relieve this stress and prevent the development of negative coping mechanisms, it’s advised to offer up positive outlets.

The Many Benefits Of Yoga For Children

One approach gaining traction is practicing yoga. Doing so helps kids learn how to handle stressors while also providing a physical outlet. Whether it’s provided as part of their educational experience or simply encouraged at home, yoga has shown to instill positive stress relief mechanisms and improve self-regulation in young kids. How so? At its essence, yoga centers around performing calming breathing techniques, healthy stretching poses, and active mindfulness. When practiced routinely, it works to calm the mind, ease stress, and enhance the child’s overall wellbeing.

Its benefits can extend past mental health to a person’s physical, emotional, and behavioral health. Studies from esteemed medical institutes have shown that children who practice yoga and mindfulness see improved strength, flexibility, endurance, and aerobic capacity. Noted emotional benefits are improved focus, self-esteem, and even better classroom behavior.

Yoga is safe, but it is best to have adult supervision when children are practicing yoga. As with any physical activity, an injury is possible. Beginners should avoid rigorous poses and remember to always warm up beforehand.

Yoga, when taught well and done right, can be a powerful tool in helping children nurture the connection between a healthy body and mind. Want to learn more about how advantageous yoga can be for children? Please see the accompanying resource, by Kids Car Donations, for additional benefits as well as a few poses to practice together.
