WHAT’S SO GOOD ABOUT YOGA?
Yoga is an ever-growing activity that can be enjoyed by adults and children alike. The more research that is done, the more benefits are discovered. Some of these are more obvious than others but it’s amazing how yoga can affect and improve so many different aspects of our lives. It’s a truly holistic pursuit that will have a positive impact on your child and they will most likely enjoy it too!
Flexibility and strength
I’ll admit it, we all know that yoga improves flexibility. This is even more true when applied to children though. It has been shown to help them with their motor abilities, strength and balance. Strength is something that’s not as often linked to yoga but if you’ve ever tried it, you’ll know how demanding it can be! The combination of flexibility and strength will give your little one a great base for all of their other activities and give them a little more confidence when trying a new activity.
Mental health
Mental health is one of the main issues affecting young people today. There is so much going on in the world, we still don’t fully understand the effects of social media on our little ones and it can generally be tough being a young person! Yoga is a perfect tool to counteract many of the struggles that your child may be having. Research has shown that children who regularly do yoga have better self-esteem and less mood-swings, as well as helping them to cope in times of heightened stress or anxiety.
