Do you remember what it was like to spend whole days just playing? If you are a
child, play is probably a big part of your life. If you are a parent, you may remember
when your backyard or bedroom or the long dark hallway into the den were so much
more than rooms in your house—jungles, forests, forts, palaces, vast oceans, tunnels
through the center of the earth.
For children, every day is an adventure because the imagination and creativity in a child is so present, accessible, and vivid. Likewise, yoga—that most ancient and most modern of physical and spiritual practices—takes on an added lightness, joy, and carefree spirit when practiced by children.
Yoga allows a child’s natural creativity and imagination to flourish, aided by lots of “pretend” games, nature and animal poses, active movement, dress-up with props, and even deep relaxation. Yoga provides dramatic physical, emotional, mental, developmental, and spiritual benefits to all kids, from infants to teenagers, from the physically challenged to those challenged by learning disorders or developmental delays.
And yoga with kids can become an enlightening experience for grownups, too. Yoga can create a space for family in a way that benefits everyone, builds relationships, and forms lasting bonds and enduring memories. A treasure-trove awaits you, whether you are a child or a parent, and your family within the pages of this book. To discover it, all you need to do is keep reading.
