Balance For Body And Mind

Yoga for kids helps to overcome everyday pressures such as stress, excessive expectations from others or lack of exercise. Kids become more balanced and relaxed and feel altogether a lot better.

Overview

Why Yoga Is Useful For Kids

The school years are a formative phase for kids. Kids experience many new tasks, exciting challenges, but also a lot of extra stress.

Stress – grades and comparisons with classmates of the same age result in permanent pressure to perform and meet expectations.
Strain – due to concentration problems or high demands on how much needs to be learnt.
Lack of exercise – due to the large amount of time spent sitting during lessons and doing homework after school.

As a result, the physical and mental well-being of kids suffers enormously. Yoga, especially exercises of the widespread Hatha Yoga, can help to cope with these stressful situations and create a balance, both for the body as well as for the mind and soul.

Yoga is nothing more than a variety of mental and physical exercises. Through kids’s yoga, their own body awareness improves at an early age and kids learn how to relax. They learn to pay attention to their thoughts and feelings and to create an emotional balance. A generally positive attitude towards life is promoted.

How Aumios Yoga For Kids Works

Yoga exercises for kids differ significantly from those for adults. During our classes, kids are always immersed in imaginative stories. They meet and imitate many animals, greet the sun or give themselves a soothing facial massage. Aumio uses alternating dynamic and relaxing postures (also called asanas) of Hatha yoga, which have been expanded with playful elements. Three recurring asanas are:

The tree 🌳
It provides an upright posture and practices steadiness and balance. During this exercise, your kid learns to focus on one point so that he keeps his balance and does not fall over. This asana helps with balance and satisfaction.

The Cat (-Cow) 🐈
Alternating between hollow back and cat hunch, this asana stretches and strengthens the back and abdominal muscles and releases tension along the spine. The breath deepens and your kid becomes calm and relaxed.

The (looking down) dog 🐶
This exercise strengthens shoulders, arms, and the backs of the legs, stretches the spine, and prevents back pain. It increases stamina, boosts self-confidence, and has a balancing and relaxing effect.

Each of Aumio’s stories ends with a final relaxation exercise lying down, during which your kid can daydream a little. Here he or she can once again find peace and quiet.

The Current Research
