In the fast paced life we are challenged with stress related diseases. The worst affected are the children. Academic pressures, sedentary lifestyle coupled with media overload are some of the outcomes.
In such a scenario, it is absolutely essential that parents inculcate the habit of physical exercise - as distinct from sports and playground activities - in their child/ children. There is no better way to ensure this than to teach them Yoga. Yoga moves beyond physical exercise and is a great tool for calming and controlling the mind and the senses. This, as you'll agree, is more relevant in the case of children who, almost without exception, are hyperactive and excitable by nature and need to be reined in.
Yoga is an age old science with its implications well documented for todays generation. It is a way of living and views a person as a whole- in body, mind and spirit. At the preliminary level, yoga postures (yogasanas) involves stretching and bending which help in relaxing tensed or contracted body muscles. These poses carried out in slow, rhythmic repetition are extremely beneficial for toning the body and massaging the internal organs. They help in improving the overall immunity by restoring circulatory, respiratory and digestive vitality. It helps wayward children to get centered and more in tune with their inner selves, even if they may not realize it as such.
Children can start yoga from age five. A 15 - 20 minute session is enough to get them started. This can be gradually increased to half an hour or more for older children. Starting from simple animal postures to meditating with the corpse pose, small children can enter the rich world of Yogasanas which will help them establish the body-mind-spirit connection. Without doubt, this will see them sail through every sphere of life smoothly.
