Description

One can start practicing yoga at a very early age. At the initial stage, conducting family classes is a good idea—it will be useful both for the kids and their parents. The system of children’s yoga is carefully elaborated; the classes take place in a game manner, so the kids enjoy them. The standard yoga program for children includes exercises for different body parts, mastering the breathing techniques and training games that help children to acquire the skills of healthy communication, observation, and attention.

Yoga exercises, or so-called asanas, contribute to prevent and remove numerous diseases and to keep the body healthy.
