Children in Need of an Outlet? Try a Kids Yoga DVD

Posted By: david | Posted On: 2008-08-14 | Article ID: 85548

Award-winning yoga instructor and children's yoga expert Marsha Wenig has a number of wonderful kids yoga dvd selections out there for parents or teachers who wish to introduce the idea of yoga to their kids. Yoga for children--whether you choose to teach them yourself or use the guidance of a kids yoga dvd--is probably one of the best gifts you can give. Particularly at younger ages, kids' minds and bodies are still being shaped and molded into what they will eventually become. Helping them acquire a taste for yoga early on increases the chances of them developing a healthy lifestyle and self image that they will maintain throughout their lives.

With Marsha Wenig's collection of YogaKids DVDs, kids can join in and sing along as energetic youngsters show them how fun yoga can be. They will learn to take cues from animals, trees, and the nature of the world. Curious kids will follow along with Marsha as she demonstrates creatively adapted yoga basics that are set to playful, original songs. Your child will roar like a lion, stretch like a puppy, and stand gracefully like a flamingo-- all while developing a sense of accomplishment with each new pose. A safe, fun, and constructive alternative to television and video games, kids yoga dvds introduce children to the joy of physical fitness, while building a strong, flexible body and mind. Parents and school teachers alike love sharing these programs with their kids...it's a new experience each and every time!

There are so many benefits of yoga for children, some of which include a discovery of the importance of physical health; development of self-confidence and a positive self-image; an exploration into the benefits of breathing properly and learning to relax; development of a conscious awareness of your relationship with nature and your surroundings; and the cultivation of a positive, healthy worldview. Most importantly, whether you introduce yoga in the classroom or in the home, your kids will have fun and feel good doing the animated poses. This benefit alone should be satisfying for parents, teachers and children.

If you haven't tried yoga for children with your kids or students yet, you may want to consider giving it a go. It certainly cannot hurt! If anything, it can only benefit the kids in so many ways. A little yoga practice is also a positive response to attention-reducing distractions, pre-test anxiety, and other disruptions that tend to leave children feeling less than focused. Yoga is also a great way to energize kids for activities to come, particularly in the classroom. Many parents have also found a great deal of value in having something like a kids yoga dvd that they can do along with their children, as a bonding experience. As any parent knows, times like these are priceless.
