🧠🧘♂️ Why kids need yoga as much as adults do 🧘♀️🧠 - Part 2 - 5. Focus. Focus. Focus. We live in a world of distractions. More and more these days, kids seem unable to focus on anything for any decent length of time. Yoga can help with that. It teaches kids to be present, and to concentrate and focus on their breathing. 6. Yoga teaches calming techniques. Young kids deal with frustration most typically by crying and throwing tantrums. When they learn proper, healthy breathing techniques and tools to focus the mind, they begin to learn how to apply those tools in their everyday lives and to react appropriately to any situation. 7. Children learn self-awareness through yoga. Again, in guiding their bodies through the poses, children learn more about their bodies and what they are capable of. They learn more about their minds, and how they can affect not only their own attitudes and approaches to life, but also the attitudes of others. They learn that they can achieve this through their own thoughts and how they choose to react to any given situation. This awareness of the body, mind and spirit, and of what can be achieved when all three work together, helps children develop into more confident, kind, responsible adults. 8. Yoga supports positive mental health in children. All of the above benefits tie together. When children learn to accept and love themselves for who they are, to see the good in others, to focus and calm their minds, and to be aware of their innate capabilities, they learn tools for resilience. They are more likely to be positive and optimistic about life and their abilities and will hopefully be less likely to succumb to anxiety, depression and other mental health issues that are so prevalent today. #amigreatplace #academymi #abilities #brainfit #braindusseldorf #brainfitkids #education #educationisthekey #yoga #yogaforkids #discipline #selfcontrol #wellbeing #psychology #intelligences #multipleintelligences #spirit #mindandbody #keytohappiness #balanceisthekey #balance #health #healthyhabits #habits #kids #children #sport (at Düsseldorf, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/B08j6LTnylV/?igshid=1hh1ziz6yplq5
