The Research

Preschool age children are showing signs of stress and anxiety in Western countries!Research on yoga and mindfulness benefits for kid’s is growing and has already shown that yoga can improve:
focus, memory, self-esteem, academic performance, and classroom behaviour and can reduce anxiety and stress in children. This includes in school based programs (www.health.harvard.edu (www.sciencedaily.com 2018/04.).
  Energy levels are enhanced  (2017, University of Waterloo, sciencedaily.com). 

 

More benefits of children’s yoga
 
1.  Yoga encourages good posture for the skeletal system, flexibility, agility, coordination, balance and  strength   for   young   growing bodies.
 
2. Yoga increases oxygen to the brain, which supports learning and concentration.  Yoga ignites children’s imaginations, creativity and self- expression.
 
3.  The nervous system and the endocrine system are ignited and work together. Calming of the nervous system during postures and whilst exhaling occurs as the heart rate slows down and cortisol levels lower.  Calming hormones, such as serotonin are activated.
 
4.  In our fast- paced world yoga assists children to calm their thoughts, centre themselves for learning and learn how to be ‘still’ for a moment. 
 
5.  Yoga teaches children how to care for their bodies, body awareness and self-regulation through mindfulness and relaxation.

6.  The joy of movement, music, games and socialisation can all be experienced during a yoga session with children.  There is no competition in yoga, therefore children who don’t like competitive sports will thrive.
 
7.  Yoga teaches perseverance and confidence in their own abilities.
 
8.  Yoga helps with self-regulation, self- discipline and self-expression.
