What is Yoga for children ?

Younger children can enjoy yoga too! Children’s yoga is a fun introduction to yoga. Learning takes many different forms, through postures that are often fun and always beneficial. By having fun reproducing animal postures, for example, children learn the postures more easily and are better able to retain the basics and principles of yoga.

Children’s yoga teaches them to feel the link between body and mind. Trying out new postures and movements, trusting yourself, observing and listening, controlling your breathing… This apprenticeship allows children to learn to control their movements, but also to respect themselves and take care of themselves and the group.

The benefits of Yoga for children

A yoga session for children has a number of benefits:

learning about the body in a playful way: in yoga for children, the choice of postures is designed to teach children to take better control of their body, their muscles and their breathing. The learning process is made all the more effective by the fact that the postures are generally playful and fun.
Introduction to relaxation and anti-stress: between the ages of 7 and 12, children’s learning faculties are at their peak. This is an ideal age for teaching them the valuable knowledge that comes from practising yoga: the mind-body connection, psychological balance, relaxation, well-being, concentration, breathing, etc. After just a few sessions, children will have integrated this teaching and will be able to manage stress and frustration better on their own.
mental balance: breathing control, concentration, understanding the body and the mind… The lessons learned during yoga sessions contribute to your child’s mental balance.
