Yoga Yoga Yoga Styles Beginners Poses & Workouts From Ann Pizer, your Guide to Yoga As yoga's popularity grows, more and more avenues of this ancient practice are being explored. Yoga for kids, quite a modern concept, grew out of parents thinking their children could enjoy some of the same benefits of yoga that adult do, such as improved body awareness, coordination, and stress relief. Traditional yoga practice is definitely a grown-up activity, but yoga is flexible enough to accommodate young students as well when the teaching is approached in the right way. Yoga for Kids Advice on how to introduce yoga to your kids, either at home or by taking a class. Watch Me Do Yoga Watch Me Do Yoga is an engaging new children's book by Iyengar yoga teacher and illustrator Bobby Clennell. Clennell's premise is spot-on: while yoga may be a solitary, interior pursuit for adults, children want to feel they are participating in something. And if they master a new trick, the first thing they want to do is show mom and dad. YogaKids DVD A nice, relatable yoga video for kids since it features children demonstrating the poses. Pose of the Week - Headstand Crunches If you're pretty comfortable doing headstand in the middle of the room, you can try these crunches, which figure in the Ashtanga Primary Series. Once you are up in headstand, slowly lower your legs to a 90 degree position. Then slowly bring them back up to straight, moving both legs together the whole time. Do this three times. These crunches will really strengthen your abs, preparing you to lift both your legs from the floor at the same time when first coming into headstand (as well as do anything else you need killer abs for!).
