Yoga in the UAE has so many health and lifestyle benefits. Yoga is perfect for your kids to do too. Whether as a fun class or as part of family fitness.
What are the health benefits of yoga for children – mental and physical?
Yoga for kids physically enhances their flexibility, strength, co-ordination and body awareness. Mentally, it improves concentration, relaxation and sense of calmness. It teaches them how to deal with stress in positive ways such as breathing, meditating and body movement. Yoga is also a non-competitive activity, thus reducing the stress of expectation that kids may feel with other sporting activities and thus helps to increase self-confidence.
How important it is for kids to remain active, how often should they exercise?
It is very important for children to be active. They have a lot of energy and need to use it up – they should play as much as they can. Kids yoga classes in Abu Dhabi or Dubai can range between half an hour to an hour, but ultimately depends on how long the child remains engaged.
Children learn how to do things by playing, so yoga for kids is presented in a fun, supportive environment. Kids yoga classes greatly differ from adults yoga classes. It is greatly beneficial to know how and when to energise and to relax. This helps to create balance. Yoga can be done to expend energy and build strength, or to calm down – or both.
With the use of technology and the increase in obesity levels – what are your views on starting kids in exercise and activities from a young age?
Motor co-ordination skills, among many other skills are learned through play. With the increase in technology and devices used to play games on, a sedentary lifestyle is encouraged. By introducing healthy ways to express their energy, children are encouraged to live a healthy lifestyle from a young age.
Yoga is especially beneficial as it provides other tools, such as meditation, concentration, balance and learning to deal with stress in healthy ways that sometimes even adults are not aware of.
What age should they start doing something active?
If the parent practices yoga, parent-and-baby yoga can be started from birth. This is a means for bonding between parent and child. As the child grows older, it becomes more of a play activity and more interactive. Partner yoga is often used with kids. Yoga for kids (with an instructor/personal trainer) can be started at about 3-4 years of age.
