Benefits of kids yoga- When kids regularly practice yoga, they experience….

• Yoga helps children manage their anxiety. The breathing exercises and relaxation techniques learned from practicing yoga can help children with stress management. Teaching children how to reduce stress in a healthy way is an important life skill that will help them as children and as adults.
• Yoga improves children’s emotional regulation. Another benefit of yoga for children is that it helps children learn to be in the present moment while relaxing and gaining a peaceful state of mind, which ultimately improves their emotional regulation.
• Yoga boosts children’s self-esteem. Yoga helps to provide building blocks for the future. It teaches kids to persevere, be patient, and work toward their goals. Children can rely on their yoga teacher for instruction, but when they master a new pose or technique, they'll know they put in the hard work. The result is a confidence boost and improved self-esteem.
• Yoga increases children’s body awareness and mindfulness. Going through a variety of yoga poses helps children learn about their bodies and the movements they’re capable of doing.
• Yoga develops children’s strength and flexibility. Yoga helps strengthen children’s growing bodies and helps them improve their flexibility, which can reduce their chance of injury. Also, yoga promotes motor coordination, and it teaches kids to use their muscles in different ways. Whether a pose is done standing, sitting, or lying down, each one can challenge various muscle groups. At the same time, a child becomes more aware of his or her body and how it functions.
• Yoga teaches discipline and reduces impulsivity. Yoga can reduce challenging behaviors in the classroom by providing a physical outlet for children to express themselves. It also teaches children about discipline as they work on clearing their minds and perfecting their poses. Also, improves concentration and mental clarity, with a yoga practice it has been linked to improve school performance in adolescents.
