In today's age, when children spend a lot of time on gadgets, how can parents get them interested in yoga?

Getting children interested in yoga is a difficult task, as their attention span is short and they may get bored soon. Since conduct yoga workshops for children, ensure that these sessions are tailor-made for them. Incorporate a lot of fun elements in the yoga sessions. Rather than teach them the Sanskrit names of the asanas, will replace them with animal names and also make them play games that involve running and stretching.

Do children benefit from practising yoga?

Absolutely teach yoga in schools and have had parents come up to me saying that the children have improved in their studies, their concentration levels have gone up and so on. Feel good when we see that even after school, children practise yoga poses and even show off to their friends and relatives.

Is there a right age for children to start yoga?

The earlier the children start, the better it is. Currently train children at a Montessori school, where a two-year-old can be seen doing a couple of asanas. Initially, hesitant to teach yoga to very young children but now, feel my efforts have paid off. The children even performed yoga poses in front of a packed house.

What are the simple poses with which we can start children off?

We suggest that children do more of the butterfly pose (badhakonasana), the giraffe pose, the camel pose (utrasana), the cobra pose (bhujangasana), the mountain pose (parbatasana), the rabbit pose (sasangasana)

How can yoga help parents stay in harmony?

Trust is a vital element of this asana, as it requires both partners to have faith in each other so they can perform this asana for long periods. Partner yoga need not necessarily be limited to husband and wife. Even friends and siblings can perform it.

What are the tips for children to concentrate better and build immunity?

Children can benefit immensely from practising yoga. Practising yoga will help children concentrate better and build immunity as well. However, taking up any form of physical activity or sports such as football, basketball, athletics, etc., is important. Today, children spend so much time indoors that they do not realise the importance of physical activity.

How can teens benefit from practising yoga?

Yoga should not be limited to a group and everyone should practise it. Teens can derive immense benefits from practising yoga. One such benefit is mental wellness. Teens are passing through a formative period and yoga helps them tackle the many challenges life throws at them.
