Yoga promotes physical flexibility and improves motor skills
Yoga deals with flexibility and stretching the various muscles, each muscle in its own way. Children learn to use their muscles in new forms and learn to exercise muscle groups while being aware of the body and its action. The muscles that are worked on in yoga include both the large muscles and small muscles that are used for fine motor skills, grip, and more.
Yoga refines balance and coordination
Equilibrium is a key element in yoga, where the goal of equilibrium poses is to reach a mental and physical balance. In the face of repeated difficulties and trials, children learn to persevere and remain calm. As balance improves children are filled with a sense of pride and satisfaction in light of the successes they experience.
Yoga develops focus and concentration
Yoga encourages children to clear their heads and focus on the one goal they are trying to achieve. Focusing on a specific pose and the concentration required to stay in a particular pose, help children later concentrate on school, and stay focused on tasks. Many studies show that children who practice yoga have experienced a marked improvement in grades in general. It is good for their mental health.
Yoga increases self-esteem and self-confidence
Yoga teaches children to persevere, be patient, and work towards the goal. The teacher is there to support, but the real work is done by the child themself, and their successes are their only. Every such success gives the child a sense of ability, a sense of power that changes the way the child sees and experiences themselves.
Yoga strengthens the connection between the mind and the body
Yoga relieves stress, relaxes, and has been found that yoga helps reduce aggressive behavior and facilitates manifestations of hyperactivity. The children learn about their body abilities and learn how the power of thought and their approach to life affects their conduct and the conduct of the environment towards them. They learn to control their response to various events and their power in determining how and when to respond.
Yoga focuses on personal abilities and successes rather than competition
In a world where children are in pursuit of grades, successes, and praise, yoga teaches them that everyone is different and that everyone is capable of different things. In yoga, there is no more successful or less successful, but self-exploration of personal abilities.
Yoga imparts calming techniques
Techniques of breathing and concentration and focus help the child to relax and reach peace again. Soon the children learn to use what they have learned in yoga classes and apply in the real world. They learn to breathe, focus, and concentrate in order to reach themselves and relax.
