Yoga and Kids

Yoga benefits children in so many ways. It teaches them to harness their inner lion, breath through tough moments and live more flexibly in mind and body. This past week I have been developing a yoga and meditation workshop for kids at North Scottsdale Pediatrics. This has caused me to read a lot, as always:).

Look for the workshop this Fall at the North office.

You might enjoy this article, just reading it is soothing.

"Children derive enormous benefits from yoga. Physically, it enhances their flexibility, strength, coordination, and body awareness. In addition, their concentration and sense of calmness and relaxation improves. Doing yoga, children exercise, play, connect more deeply with the inner self, and develop an intimate relationship with the natural world that surrounds them. Yoga brings that marvelous inner light that all children have to the surface."
