Many children today struggle with attention, focus, anxiety and “behavior issues.” Yoga looks at the deeper wisdom of the human mind and addresses the root cause of these conditions rather than the symptoms.
The practice of yoga is empowering for children because they appreciate being active participants in their own experience of Well Being. Yoga for children is engaging and effective. It’s a new perspective from an ancient tradition.
The body and mind are much like a house – they need a strong foundation. Without it, our lives can feel wobbly or out-of-balance. It can leave us feeling ungrounded.
Being “grounded” is a subjective term that relates to our sense of stability. When kids aren’t stable in body and mind, they may feel anxious, have a hard time focusing or act out and display “disruptive behavior.”
Yoga teachers, school teachers, parents and other pediatric professionals will benefit from this deeper understanding and be better able to help children.
