Yoga for Kids

Jnr Vadai has started going for yoga classes, enrolled him in the Yoga kids franchise in Bukit Tinggi. Its kind of fun and happy he is doing it. I hate to force a kiddo to do thing all around the clock, for me its one activity and thats it. Enjoy the childhood and if he gets bored of it then expose to something else

Why I expose hime to yoga for children? Ten years ago, that question was most likely asked about martial arts. Now there are classes for children at martial arts studios around every corner. Yoga develops many wonderful qualities in children. Beside the obvious benefits of exercising the physical body, both yoga and martial arts sharpen the child’s ability to focus, give self-confidence, and develop self-discipline. And yoga, practiced regularly, helps children become aware of themselves from the inside out.
