Children and Yoga

Yoga Children

In the following 2 articles, Yoga for Kids | Guidelines and Benefits and Comprehensive Guide to Teaching Children’s Yoga, I shared a great deal of information on yoga for children.  Included in those articles are a large collection of kid’s yoga poses and details on how to successfully teach a children’s yoga class.  Those articles have helped many kid’s yoga teachers and some have requested that I provide more information regarding children’s yoga as there is not much reliable information regarding this topic on the web.

Lumbar Back Pain

Lumbar Back Exercises

When I was in high school, I was a member of the ski club and in preparation for the upcoming ski season we would start to do a wide range of exercises to prepare the body.  Now that we are heading into winter here in the North East, and my kids are a little older, I plan to teach them skiing this winter and so have decided to revive my high school tradition of preparing for ski season.

Baby Yoga Position

Yoga to Relax the Mind

Don’t underestimate the value of Baby Pose, when it comes to your yoga practice.  A friend of mine once told me a funny story about his first yoga class.  He was a martial arts specialist and when he was invited to a yoga class by a female friend he jumped at the opportunity.  After all, he was single and yoga classes had lots of women who he thought he would be able to impress given his training in martial arts.

Good Parenting

Raising Children Tips

         Happy Little Taran Mehta

Parenting is certainly one of the most rewarding aspects of life, but it is also one that requires great skill and finesse to do successfully.  With children lies the future of humanity and therefore, if we are able to raise great children, we are going to establish the foundation for a great future for man.  Parenting, unfortunately does not come with an owner’s manual, and if we mess it up badly, we can’t trade in the ruined kids for new ones either , so it is important we give this role some serious thought and try our very best to do it right.

Kids Yoga Benefits

Yoga Health Benefits for Children

It is said that yoga practice starts as early as when the baby in the womb!   That’s correct.  Yogis claim that the baby in the womb spontaneously does all the yoga poses, and that this is a part of it’s development.  So it really should not surprise us then that once they have become little kids, yoga still comes naturally to them and benefits them in a myriad of ways.
