Product Description
Book Description
Yoga has been taken up by many adults as a regular exercise discipline to tone their bodies, release stress, improve their health and to become more relaxed. But what about children? What will the benefits be for them if they start practising some of the ancient poses from a young age? Children are full of energy but often it can be hard to control this youthful exuberance at school or at home. Learning yoga can help them to channel this exuberance in a positive way. The exercises help to keep their flexibility, develop concentration, posture and co-ordination. With the onset of puberty, yoga can balance emotions and help children to cope with the stresses of everyday life. This book introduces the yoga system in a fun and playful way. For the very young, animal poses are used to keep their attention, encourage healthy development and boost their creative urges. For children from the age of eight upward, a series of dynamic poses is included to burn off energy, increase concentration and build confidence. Group exercises which explore their senses and improve their breathing are also included. Yoga for Children is an indispensable reference guide for the whole family to have an enjoyable and healthy workout.
