The yoga for kids Calgary specialists offer is characterized by dynamic movements interspersed with static postures and relaxation. Usually, they first do a dynamic movement several times and then stay in that same position, and then feel the effect of the exercises in a relaxed position after. A full class consists of standing, sitting and lying exercises and concludes with a relaxation exercise. Both dynamic and static postures are supported by the child's breath, paying attention to the full breathing movement (abdomen, sides, chest).
Regular breathing ensures that sufficient oxygen and other nutrients carried are by the blood. A regular breathing technique ensures a way for the optimal functioning of the brain. Those who breathe regularly feel better than someone who always gasps for breath. Many people breathe incorrectly due to stress in their daily life, including children.
Stress in children leads to restless and agitated breathing. Try it out for yourself. Take very agitated breaths for a few minutes. You will soon find that you not only physically, but also mentally feel miserable. This is why proper breathing is important in every exercise. The guidelines for each exercise (asana), therefore, remind: have quiet and regular breathing.
The idea might seem a bit redundant, but if you focus on a particular movement, it is quite normal that you hold your breath. It's important that you're aware of this and avoid it. Breathe in, breathe out- that is something you must keep reminding yourself. If your nose is blocked, you will have to breathe through your mouth. Remember to breathe normally, in almost every exercise, there will be clues about the breathing in and out process, to remind your kids.
The discipline itself is ideal for everyone. For children, youth, pregnant women, adults and the elderly. Everyone does it, all around the world. And you know why? Because it really works! Physical exercises to stay healthy and prevent disease are nothing new. That also sums up the meaning of the discipline to many people these days. It wouldn't be right to say that this is wrong, but the discipline is far more than that.
Most people are used to being where performance and speed are highly appreciated. If the children do go to themselves with their attention, they are often taken away by emotions, feelings or thoughts. Yoga practice requires a different attitude. It requires attention on the fact that they just may be where you are. It is not about performance but about the experience.
Everything you experience, you experience in your body, so it calls attention to your body. The intention is that the child's attention is shifting from being under observation to being the observer. They can let their feelings and thoughts come and go again. Because they know that part of them is bright, loving, inquisitive and without judging, they will be far happier and calmer. Thus, they can perceive their feelings, experiences and thoughts in a more understanding way.
Chakras can be 'bunched', causing blockages in the child's energy to occur. To compensate, other chakras are overactive, which in turn leads to other problems. By doing proper yoga exercises or meditation, you child can stimulate certain chakras to bring their operational levels up. This will result in a happier kid, for sure.
