One
of the more beneficial physical activities for kids is yoga.
Since children are squirmy, energetic and playful, a variety of fun
animal poses can intrigue them while enticing their imagination.
5 tips to make yoga fun for kids:
1.
Have children utter amusing noises and sounds related to the poses. For example, they can bark like dogs in the Dog posture or meow like
cats in the Cat pose.
2. Keep the exercises short and lively. This helps kids sustain their energy and focus.
3.
Children should be encouraged to express creativity and imagination
while practicing yoga. For example, to enliven the Table pose, you can
use plastic plates and food to 'set' each child's 'table'.
4.
Another way to capture the attention of kids while practicing yoga is to
incorporate songs and music into the practice. For example, kids can
sing "row, row, row your boat' while in the Boat pose.
5. Lastly,
remember that the goal is not doing the 'perfect pose', but rather for
children to feel their own bodies in the postures. This will help them
to enjoy their yoga practice and instill healthy habits for life.
