Introducing Yogic Practices in Early Childhood

“Sthiram Sukham Asanam” is a principle from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras that describes the ideal yoga posture: steady and comfortable. This principle emphasizes the balance between effort and ease in yoga practice. Applying this principle to yoga in early childhood means encouraging the tiny tots to find a posture that they can hold steadily and comfortably, without strain or discomfort. This approach can help children enjoy yoga more, stay engaged, and reap its benefits effectively.
Pranayam like Bhramari and Anulom-Vilom help little children to detach from over stimulation of the outside world.
Postures such as tadasan and vrikshasan improve height and balance.
Titli asan is every kid’s favourite.
Yoga can be a fun and beneficial practice for children, supporting their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
