Kids Yoga with Nikki
Offering children the tools they need to get the most out of their lives
Yoga literally means "union" (union of our body, mind and spirit) and practising yoga benefits our being on all three of these levels. Physically it strengthens and stretches our bodies helping with balance, coordination and flexibility. The postures are designed to offer an inner workout as they massage our internal organs and stimulate our glandular system, balancing our hormones and our state of mind. Aside from being physical practise, yoga is also a science and way of life that connects us with our environment, awakening a deep sense of compassion and universal love for all creatures on this planet.
I was introduced to yoga ten years ago and looking back I'm amazed at the positive changes I see in my life since then. For five of those years I have been teaching children yoga and witnessing the changes blossom within them at such an early age. It makes me wonder what my life would have been like if I was introduced to these practises in my childhood. Would I have made different choices when confronted with the option to experiment with drugs and alcohol if I had a deep connection to my body and its potential? Would my teen years have been less dramatic if I understood what hormones are, how they affect me and actually had the tools and knowledge needed to take on responsibility to do something about it?
These are just a few of the many benefits of practising yoga both on and off the mat. It's enough to show me how important it is to share this practise with children, offering them the tools they need to get the most out of their lives... tools I'm sure that many of us adults wish we were offered in our youth.
