Yoga for Children by Joanna Gardner

Yoga is appreciated and enjoyed by children of all ages. However a children’s Yoga session is vastly different to an adults class. The key to being successful when introducing Yoga to children is in the way it is presented to them.

The approach needs to be fun, fairly dynamic, creative and stimulating to the child’s imagination. You can do this by using songs and threading the many beautiful Yoga postures of animals and nature based objects together into different stories. The stories are wonderfully brought to life through the child’s own vivid imagination. Appropriate music and a few simple props help as well. (eg. Tree branch prunings, animal pictures or felt ears)
