Asanas
The postures aid in the development of the body, instilling awareness of the body in the child's mind. Parallely, the child is able to grasp the importance of maintaining appropriate posture, crucial to ward off fatigue and restlessness. Guiding them with useful postures and instructions that yoga relies on will provide an excellent platform for the child's growth.
Diet and Hygiene
Yogic discipline motivates children to adopt good eating habits that include fresh fruits and vegetables. The emphasis on saatwic food, that yoga reiterates, gets deeply ingrained in the child's psyche. Cleanliness and hygiene, whose role is well known and is needless to emphasize, becomes a way of life.
Pranayama (Breath Awareness)
Deep breathing practice involves the technique of filling the lungs with oxygen that help the child by promoting calmness of the mind and enriching the blood supply. Very early in life, the child realizes the manifold benefits of good breathing techniques, something that eludes even the grown-ups!
