Our children live in a hurry-up world of busy parents, school pressures, incessant lessons, video games, malls, and competitive sports. We usually dont think of these influences as stressful for our kids, but often they are. The bustling pace of our childrens lives can have a profound effect on their innate joy—and usually not for the better. I have found that yoga can help counter these pressures. When children learn techniques for self-health, relaxation, and inner fulfillment, they can navigate lifes challenges with a little more ease. Yoga at an early age encourages self-esteem and body awareness with a physical activity thats noncompetitive. Fostering cooperation and compassion—instead of opposition—is a great gift to give our children.
