SMALL YOGIS





" Babies are born little yogis and yogis. At every stage in development, babies naturally curl and rest into a variety of asanas (poses) that would make a yoga student green with envy"Susie Arnett, Doug Kim

I agree, if you see how the small bodies are flexible..how easy is for them to roll,put toes in the mouth(so cute), pull the weight of the body into natural cobra..i still think that the AH-doh MOO-kah shvah-NAHS-anna(adho = downward,mukha = face,svana = dog) is the best done by kids ! I cud go one and one..a body of the child is a body of a yogi.
I remember spending once 30 min sitting still and looking and the back of my son, he was sitting and playing with his blocks,building tower to destroy it in the minute, and his spine was simply a perfection..his back a wonder.
I think that every parent is laying close to his baby and listen to his breath ..slow,deep ..the full small body move with the peace of breathing .Hahaha and when they start to walk ,running into your arms with their hands stretch high ...Victory!

Yoga for kids..or yoga with kids,for me is a way to keep them in this pure yogi state, school,stress,social life,responsibilities,wrong sitting,wrong food, anger,frustrations,fears.......this and much more make our body to change, to close,the breathing is getting faster and shorter..and people are forgetting about not only inhalation but as well about importance of exhalation.

And you dont have to be a yoga teacher to do with your child yoga, its fun!Tv ? When you are five and full of energy ..for what ..go and move, keep the balance with your kid together.Jona loves to do "His yoga" (yes u can adjust it ) paint,sing,play zoo(yoga animal poses),give me tasks and ask for challenges,play with card poses deck and so and so.

He is 5 but he understand the importance of the breathing, when somebody is getting angry close to him,or bit stressed..he is saying in his sweet child voice....relax.....stay calm....breath.....oh and i want to eat him in this moments!

I sometimes see him sitting quiet, with his eyes closed..and fingers together..trying to flay in his mind, or see something....honestly i dont know where he is,or where he want to go , he dont want to say ;)

Few days ago, Jona was laying on his back..his hands around his cavia, eyes closed...later when i asked him what he was doing ..he sad "i was taking and giving "..what i can say more ?

Yoga for kids encourage awareness of self and others, with storytelling to stretch the imagination and to bring alive the magic of nature and the beautiful world we live in....try it (and if you need help..write )
