With a Masters Degree in Education and experience as a tutor, coach, school teacher, yoga teacher and parent, it has become clear to me that no matter what age or subject, whether learning colors or long division, children learn best by doing.
By doing Yoga, children learn a myriad of life long lessons and skills. Among them are:
- Self esteem
- Better focus
- Confidence
- Self-motivation
- Positive body image
- How to relax into calmness
- Better concentration
- How to find balance amid chaos — the chaos of school life, home life and social life
- Body awareness
- How to calm the mind and body before such endeavors as school assessments, sports tournaments, music recitals, etc.
By doing Yoga, children become physically stronger and more flexible.
By doing Yoga, children learn positive social skills, environmental awareness and flexibility of the mind.
