It is a great idea to take your little ones to the best trainers in yoga for kids Calgary has to offer. The word itself comes from Sanskrit and means 'union', or 'bringing together'. It originated in India more than 4,000 years ago. It was a way to come into a deeper state of meditation. In fact, there is not much changed in 4,000 years, because even now is that the core of the art form.
Changes compared to the past, there certainly are. Unlike before, the unity of body and mind is now mainly sought (and found) in a combination of breathing, physical exercise and concentration. It teaches you to control your mind and body, and to bring the spirit and mind into balance. The exercises give you strength and energy and provide an overall pleasant feeling of relaxation.
Stress in children leads to restless and agitated breathing. Try it out for yourself. Take very agitated breaths for a few minutes. You will soon find that you not only physically, but also mentally feel miserable. This is why proper breathing is important in every exercise. The guidelines for each exercise (asana), therefore, remind: have quiet and regular breathing.
The idea might seem a bit redundant, but if you focus on a particular movement, it is quite normal that you hold your breath. It's important that you're aware of this and avoid it. Breathe in, breathe out- that is something you must keep reminding yourself. If your nose is blocked, you will have to breathe through your mouth. Remember to breathe normally, in almost every exercise, there will be clues about the breathing in and out process, to remind your kids.
Generally, you breathe when you bend forward. Breathe in, breathe out during the execution of the movement and continue breathing normally. Stretching and regular breathing relax the child's body and mind. Relaxation is an essential part of yoga. That is why specialists start with a few minutes of relaxation in a quiet position. In every session, the exercises that require a little more effort would have to end with a few brief moments of rest.
The practice of this discipline yoga has the particular purpose of bringing together the body, mind, soul and consciousness. Traditionally, it has always had an important philosophical element to it. The exercises (asanas) were later devised to make it easier to reach the core. The exercises were and are a way to concentrate better and to get through to a deeper meditation level.
All chakras play an important role in the well-being of the child's body and mind. Each chakra has an influence on certain body and emotions. It would ideal be if all the chakras were open and equally active. Unfortunately, this is usually not the case.
Chakras can be 'bunched', causing blockages in the child's energy to occur. To compensate, other chakras are overactive, which in turn leads to other problems. By doing proper yoga exercises or meditation, you child can stimulate certain chakras to bring their operational levels up. This will result in a happier kid, for sure.
