Recently I have started practicing yoga. I have heard that yoga is very good for kids as well. I have been thinking of teaching the same to my 4 years old daughter. Will it be right if I teach her on my own or should I get her trained. If I do it what will be the right resource for finding the asans for kids.
Yoga can be beneficial for any age. These days many of the playschools in India are teaching yoga to kids. You can definitely teach your kid on your own if you know the proper way of doing the asans. But make sure to find out which asans are good for kids.
Recently I have been hearing a lot about Yoga and Ramdev Baba. I have heard from one of my friends that Ramadev baba has a special CD which has Yoga for children. May be you can buy one of it and try to teach your children yoga.
Yoga benefits only if performed in the proper way and not all exercises (asanas) will suit everyone. If you decide to teach your daughter be sure that the exercises are suitable for kids.
