Parent-child yoga movements and children's move towards health

Many children are born with some minor diseases, which is very detrimental to their health. As a mother, you can practice parent-child yoga with your children to improve their physical coordination and flexibility, enhance their immune system, and exercise together.

What should parents know when practicing parent-child yoga?

1. Understand that children may not like yoga immediately. Like adults, children want to do things well, and yoga may seem a little strange to them at first. Usually, it won't feel weird by the third class.

2. Also learn to encourage children to integrate the postures they have learned into each set of exercises to build their confidence. When doing a certain pose, tell them to hold a few breaths to make them feel safe.

3. Limit the practice time to 30 minutes and use the language they like and understand.

before the start

Preparation: Find a quiet place at home or in the yard and lay out your yoga mats.

Communication: Talk to your child about yoga. Let her know that this is a sports activity and it is important to breathe deeply. Listen to what she cares about. When you practice, remember to praise your child for his efforts. Create a relaxed atmosphere and prove to your child that yoga feels comfortable and fun.

After practice:

Rest: Come down together and do the stiff corpse pose. Encourage your child to close his eyes and remain calm and tranquil, as if above a cloud. Stay for 1 to 3 minutes.

Connect: Give your child a hug and thank her for practicing with you. Learn about your child's feedback and ask her what she likes best during practice. Be open to your child's answers.

Order: Remind your child to breathe deeply through his nose. Stay in the pose for 2 to 5 breaths. Always ask your child how he feels in the poses or which part of your body feels difficult while practicing. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
