mini-YOGINIS
Kids can begin practicing physical yoga from the age of 4. At the age of 7
the child has developed his 7 chakras.
The benefits of yoga for children
The system of yoga teaches children how to live a sane life in this insane world.
(Children should learn about the sicknesses of the world, such as wars. Avoiding
this topic increases the probability that these illnesses will continue to worsen into the
next generation.)
It is necessary to heal the individual to heal the society.
Young yogis and yoginis are capable of dominating their impulses, of maintaining love
in their hearts during difficult situations, of avoiding physical, mental and emotional illnesses.
The message of yoga is compatible with all religious teachings. Jesus'
Golden Rule is an important part of yogic teaching.
About Yoga's Physical Practice
Physical yoga practice benefits the mind as much as the body.
Children that begin practicing physical yoga from a young age will likely
benefit even more adults:
Yoga helps them to relax, to know themselves more profoundly, and to channel their energy.
It reduces obesity, hyperactivity, stress, anxiety and fear.
It is an excellent practice to improve the social development of the children.
It helps them to concentrate, which benefits their learning process too.
It helps them to maintain their bodies flexible and elastic, and increases coordination
and balance.
Physical yoga practice is an activity that the child may find very enjoyable,
since many of the postures immitate different animals, which makes practicing
seem like a game.
