YOGA FOR CHILDREN

Yoga consists of techniques through which humanity can live better, think better and improve its physical and mental health. But, although most of those who practise yoga reach a ripe old age, yoga is not something for ‘old people’. On the contrary, it is better to start our practice early, if possible while we are children. A child can start yoga in a simple and fun way, approaching it like a game. The parents will realize at once the benefits because the child will became more resistant to illness, physically stronger, more concentrated at school and more joyful and balanced at home and with friends. Not by chance, yoga is universally recognized as a holistic therapy; its benefits are innumerable and it is even advised for those children who are considered difficult or hyperactive:

It relieves stress and at the same time helps you to rediscover and preserve your energy
It enables you to find your own natural rhythm in a society where everything is so hectic
It has a beneficial psychophysical effect (it helps us to sleep better and heals many dysfunctions, as it is able to massage the internal organs)
It helps to be more aware and to live in the present, avoiding the past with its sorrows and the future with its anxieties and fears
It helps us to develop a necessary detachment to make the better choices
It helps us to know ourselves more deeply and to build better relations with others.

Yoga is therefore a powerful instrument that enables us to improve the quality of our lives and that of our children and it is considered one of the most ancient forms of psychology. Our teacher, Dr. Adele Caprio, has a M.A. in Developmental Psychology and therefore knows those techniques that are more suitable for children.
