5 ways the gift of yoga can benefit toddlers

While there are numerous benefits of practicing yoga regularly, here are 5 ways the gift of yoga can benefit children,

Improved Motor Skills

Basic Yoga poses help improve gross and fine motor skills while increasing flexibility and balance. Kids will learn how to use their body muscles in new ways thus enhancing coordination.

Active lifestyle

Practicing Yoga promotes an active and healthy lifestyle. It is also known to improve digestion and helps children sleep better.

A Stress buster

We are leading highly stressful lives and our children are also exposed to stress, unfortunately. A regular yoga routine helps hyperactive children relax and unwind. It helps them calm themselves. This will result in a more peaceful household.

Improve focus

Most kids have a short attention span and find it hard to focus on something for long. Yoga helps improve your child's concentration and balance. This will in turn positively impact focus on schoolwork.

Boost confidence

Yoga helps increase your child's awareness of his/her body. It offers an outlet for children to express themselves. Also, when your child masters a pose it gives them a new sense of self-worth and achievement.

So go on, this June 21st, enjoy some Yoga time with your children and inculcate in them a good habit for a lifetime. Happy International Yoga Day!
