Stretching, relaxing and pushing your body. If you've tried a yoga class, you know how nice it can feel.
Why not introduce the same benefits to your child.
Yoga can help children focus their minds and stretch their bodies, according to Syd Hoffman, owner of Joyful Yoga Studio in Chandler.
Yoga helps children "exercise their muscles and their brains in a stimulating and non-competitive environment," says Hoffman.
"Kids benefit physically from yoga practices just as adults do."
Hoffman offers 5 reasons yoga is so good for kids:
- It helps them to not only build strength and stamina but also flexibility.
- It's non-competitive unlike most team sports so kids get a break from the pressures of winning or losing.
- And if they are interested in improving their skills in competitive sports, yoga will help them with that as well!
- It raises awareness of the mind and body and encourages children to want to take better care of themselves.
- Yoga improves concentration and relaxation skills, which children can then take with them into testing situations and other academic endeavors.
- The breathing skills learned help in stressful situations or in case of injury – techniques can be used to stay calm and manage pain.
Just in time for Spring Break, Joyful Yoga Studio is offering Kids Yoga classes.
