online yoga forum

My kids do yoga and the head of their nursery schools says that she really notices a huge difference in the kids after they've done a class. She thinks its good for their balance, gives them spacial awareness and puts them in touch with their own bodies. I've noticed they're much calmer and happier. It works.

Hi there - this is really interesting?

How old do they need to be to start kids yoga?

So wonderful, but how much time your children spend a day in the practice of Yoga?

My kids go once a week, through school and practise for an hour with a teacher that has been trained as a kids yoga instructor. Like you Michy my kids love it. They come bouncing out telling me all of the animal poses that they've done, the games they've played and stories they've been told. It's sounds great to me, much more fun than the yoga I do!

yea it's not fair. why can't we adult yogis be told stories and enact going on a warrior-quest to confront the dark wizard and dance with the white witch and get turned into all sorts of magical, wild beasts.

i think there could be a big market for this.

tee hee - I agree. the last time they went they told me this great story about how they floated up into the air in their hot air balloon, played with (and then became) clouds, then rain came down and sprinkled in the trees (which again they became), they jumped over streams (their mats). They really encourage creative thinking and experimentation. I love them doing it. And it sounded much more fun than the afternoon that I'd been having!

As an elementary school teacher, this is so positive to hear. I would love to lead a group of kids in yoga during p.e. time. We play so much basketball, kickball, softball, and handball that I think their ready for something different. I know some will feel self-conscious at first, but I know the after effects will make a huge difference in their attention and health.
