This is true! The amazing things about baby yoga

Children's yoga is becoming increasingly popular, not just because mothers want their babies to keep up with the trend, but because children can indeed get a good start in their growth from this kind of exercise. Both physically and mentally, their conditions will improve because of the baby's "practice". For children, this kind of exercise that regulates the body and mind is very meaningful. It allows children to feel that their bodies are growing, as if small sprouts are getting clean water.

Why should we let our babies practice yoga?

Correcting body shape: Yoga can exercise the body's flexibility, balance and agility, perfect muscle development, and is also good for bone growth. Because every movement must be done very standardly, children will naturally hold their heads and chests up, correcting bad habits such as hunching their backs and hunching their backs that they develop when they sit on the sofa watching TV.

Increase lung capacity: Children's yoga does not require as much breathing as adult yoga, but it still attaches great importance to deep breathing techniques, which is not only beneficial for increasing lung capacity, but also can help improve asthma and tracheal sensitivity problems.

Help chubby kids lose weight: Yoga movements are not intense, but the amount of exercise is considerable. Some mothers send their chubby babies to practice yoga just to help them lose weight. For children who are obese simply because of diet problems and lack of exercise, this is a good way to lose weight, because yoga requires a relatively light diet (but not a vegetarian diet, but a higher quality protein source), and the exercise process can also help massage the internal organs, so children have a better appetite and sleep better, while losing weight due to good habits.

It exercises the child's attention: it allows him to learn to respond to the outside world in silence, and to exercise his endurance and ability to meditate.

Improve concentration: The balance technique in yoga requires a high level of concentration. This is the most difficult part for playful and active children. They will learn to control their attention little by little during the "practice", which will be very beneficial for their future study and life.

Enrich imagination: During practice, the coach will use storytelling to guide children to do movements, so every child must first use some imagination before starting to practice. Doing exercises while listening to stories and considering oneself as a character in the story can certainly enrich imagination.

Shaping a kind little person: Children are exposed to the rhythm of nature through yoga from a very young age, which will help them grow into gentle and kind adults in the future, because these children will be more peaceful at heart and it will be easier to achieve psychological balance. In India, it is best for children to start practicing yoga before the age of 8, because only when they are young is the best time to shape their mentality.

Accompany, I am the child’s partner.

Children's yoga is divided into three age groups: 18-28 months, 28-36 months, and 36-60 months. Only babies over three years old can do yoga without their parents. Babies in the first two age groups must practice with their parents, and the role of parents is not only to care for them, but also to cooperate with their children in doing the movements. With such encouragement, children who are naturally active can calm down and persevere.

Encouragement, playing is the child's task.

Don't let your children treat yoga as a learning burden like learning piano or painting. Parents should know that "it is first and foremost a game that is beneficial to the body and mind." In other words, the purpose of this sport is to allow children to train their mental and physical qualities while playing, rather than just getting a little game fun while doing a difficult physical training.

In class, the coach needs to constantly maintain a fun and pleasant atmosphere, allowing the children to complete the movements while dancing and playing, and often point out their progress, even if it is only a little bit, to make them feel successful. If it is a small class, it is best to give every child the opportunity to show their favorite and proudest moves.

Guidance is like telling stories to children.

There may be a language barrier between the child and the coach. After all, yoga is an exercise that contains philosophy and regulates the mind. Even if the child's ability to understand is taken into consideration when designing the yoga course for children, it is still easy for the child's imagination to be restricted due to communication barriers. Therefore, the language should be as suitable as possible to the children's psychology. If the coach's expression is a bit awkward, parents should explain to them using the language that the children are accustomed to, such as "Now you have become a big tree", "You are a small flower and will soon bloom", so that the children can meet the action requirements in the atmosphere of performing the story.
