Our children live in a world of peer pressure, video games and mobile phones. We usually don't think of these influences as stressful on our children, but often they are. The fast pace of our children's lives can have a profound effect on their inner well being.

When children practice yoga, they can cope with the challenges of life much easier. They also develop self-esteem, concentration, good posture, coordination and increase their physical fitness.

Children exercise, play, connect more deeply with the inner self and develop a better relationship with the natural world through yoga. It really helps to bring the marvelous inner light that all children have to the surface.

When the ancient yogis developed the system of yoga many thousands of years ago, they still lived in close connection to the natural world and used animals and plants for inspiration—the sting of a scorpion, the grace of a swan, the grounded stature of a tree. When children imitate the movements and sounds of nature, they have a chance to get inside another being and imagine taking on its qualities. Yoga practice offers children many possibilities to exchange wisdom, share good times, and lay the foundation for a lifelong practice that will continue to nurture and develop them for the rest of their life.
