Yoga
is a science that may be used to treat several physical problems, ranging from
simple soothing poses to effectively curing them. When it comes to selecting
the appropriate poses for children, the goal of developing a yoga program for
them becomes critical. Yoga programs in Daycare centers
for preschoolers are generally intended to teach kids to accept their bodies,
be more disciplined in their conduct, and be calmer to improve their focus and
concentration. When they perform it over time, it strengthens them physically
and psychologically while also improving their overall health and fitness.
A few
yoga asanas have been clinically demonstrated to boost children's overall
physical and mental awareness. Here are some asanas that are suitable for
children.
The
Dog Pose - This position resembles that of a dog stretching. In an inverted 'U'
position, the weight is balanced on the legs and the hand. The child is advised
to tuck his toes inside, elevate his hips as high as possible, and push his
chest far inside in this position. The head that is dangling inwards is
stretched.
This
asana is especially beneficial for youngsters in terms of boosting blood
circulation to the extremities. It's also a good stretching practice for
strengthening flexibility so you can undertake more difficult yogic poses.
Regular practice also improves the capacity to balance the center of the body.
The
Tree Pose - As the name implies, this yoga position resembles a tree. The
youngster is made to stand on one leg and then fold the knee of the other leg
over the thigh of the leg that is being used to balance the body's weight. In
this pose, the arms are stretched out and the hands are folded. For a few
minutes, the child supports his weight on one leg, then switches to the other
leg.
Altadena,
CA playschool teachers give
enough practice of this pose to their students. Concentration is usually
recommended because only focusing can assist in balancing the weight of the
body on one leg. This is an activity that kids are sure to appreciate and have
a good time with.
Warrior
Pose -1 - Yogasana's warrior position improves body balance and core strength
in children. It is especially beneficial to children in developing a positive
view of their physique and so enhancing their self-confidence. It helps to
relieve discomfort in the chest, ankles, knees, and arms.
In Daycare centers,
kids are first made to stand with their legs wide apart and their arms extended
out at shoulder length in this position. The right knee is then gradually bent
in the forward direction by rotating the right foot to face outwards. The left
knee must be straight, and the position must be maintained for roughly a minute
with normal breathing.
The
Mountain Pose - This is a basic yoga pose that can serve as an excellent
foundation for more advanced asanas. The infant is first made to stand in an
erect stance with both legs close to each other in this posture. To partake in
the namaskar gesture, the hands are lifted above the head. The asana is a true
test of a child's stamina and balancing skills.
