It’s a fact that more and more adults are learning about the healing powers of yoga.
However, statistics show that over 400,000 children in the US are now also hooked on the mind and body practice.
Could you have a little yogi in your family?
If you’re looking for something new to entertain the kids, yoga can be so much fun. But it also has a wealth of different benefits for both their mental and physical health:
1: IT’S A FUN WAY TO RELAX
In the stressful world in which we live, anything that can help children to relax is positive.
During an 8 week study in Malaysia, third-grade students were asked to follow a yoga program.
Though carried out on only a small sample, results concluded that participants had developed stress-management techniques that helped them to relax.
Plus there’s so much inspiring yoga content out there now for kids, including exciting sequences from one of the top yoga instagram accounts, Cosmic Kids.

2: HELPS IMPROVE THEIR ATTENTION SPAN
Every child struggles to concentrate sometimes, with so many new and interesting things to look at and learn.
In a paper published by the National Association of School Psychologists, yoga was found to help a child focus more effectively.
One study looked at children who had attention problems, but had not been diagnosed with ADHD.
Outcomes not only highlighted their improved attention span…
Teachers also commented on how enjoyable the children found the practice, particularly when following video instruction.
Cosmic Kids, an online yoga content creator for children, conducted their own research following regular yoga sessions held in schools.
They reported that 96% of teachers had seen a positive change in a student’s ability to focus, with over half describing it as a marked improvement, too.
3: ENCOURAGES THE CONNECTION BETWEEN BODY AND MIND
In Lisa Flynn’s book, Yoga for Children: 200+ Yoga Poses, Breathing Exercises, and Meditations for Healthier, Happier, More Resilient Children, she explains how getting children to make the connection between their body and mind, can really help their development.
She states:
More and more American children from all walks of life are overweight, have stress and anger issues, and have attention and learning problems. There is a real separation of mind and body.
Throughout her book, Flynn demonstrates how by learning yoga, children can become more present in the moment.
They’ll grow increasingly aware of their mind and body, making it easier to manage their emotions, build resilience and improve their health.
