“Yoga is the space where flower blossoms.” – Amit Ray
Our everyday interactions with parents show that they wholeheartedly wish to connect with their children. As a result, they participate in activities that might help create a lasting bond—anything from drawing together to lip-syncing to a song.
There is no dearth of things to do, but if you ask me, I’d suggest you try Yoga with your child.
I primarily teach Yoga online to kids, and I can go on and on about the benefits of practicing Yoga regularly. It’s good for their health and plays a role in their social skills. Yoga helps kids gain confidence and a greater knowledge of interpersonal and intrapersonal dynamics.
Even if you aren’t into Yoga, as a parent, you can try these simple yoga poses and steps with your child. Besides the physical and spiritual benefits, yoga is an excellent activity that builds a healthy connection.
So, let’s get started, shall we?
This is a wonderful way to form connections and learn to lean on each other for support. Gate pose also stretches the shoulders, waist, and back, which get sore from carrying heavy backpacks or sitting at a desk all day.
All these yoga poses are shared based on my experience practicing and teaching Yoga to children.
Yoga is more than simply a physical activity; it's a chance to connect, trust, and gain confidence. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, these positions offer a fun and engaging way to interact with your children.
So, why not roll out your mats and start this beautiful journey together?
