Yoga for the family has proven to be successful for the problems detailed above. As a family, you can benefit from various things. First of all, yoga creates bonding, generating conversation between parents and children. Parents can help children to do certain poses. Children can give feedback to parents and share their experiences. Furthermore, as yoga focuses on breathing, this will help families to reduce stress and anxiety, eventually leading them to have more productive and healthy lives. In addition, kids also gain a physical benefit as they are exposed to train their strength, flexibility, balance, alignment, and concentration. Amazing isn’t it?
Practicing yoga with children will definitely be a different experience to doing it with other adults. You will need a boost of creativity to keep the children’s attention. Telling a story or singing a song while doing different poses is a technique you can try. Don’t worry, kids normally enjoy the playfulness of trying to keep their balance, doing downward dog poses or even bending backwards.
Finding time together with the whole family can also be a challenge. If joining a regular class is too much of a commitment, you can opt to do it outdoors or even practice at home. Simply use a DVD, yoga cards or book, or even download a yoga app for your bonding time!
