I have an incredible story to share with you.

I have a 5 year old yoga student who is extraordinary at relaxation.  It’s remarkable.  She relaxes more easily than most adults I know!  She doesn’t flinch, and lets me do all the work to uncover her feet for massage, while leaving her legs and body incredibly limp.  In each class, about 5 minutes before savasana, she quietly asks: “is relaxation soon?!”  It’s her favourite.  I had never seen this in a young student before, until our first class together.

  • Reduced Stress - Studies show that children today encounter 25% more stress than their grandparents did as children (Itsy Bitsy Yoga for Toddlers and Preschoolers, pg.11).  In a culture that is constantly on the move, now more than ever we need to instill in our children the importance of relaxation.  One benefit of this is improved focusing and concentration skills, which leads to better learning.  Relaxing effectively will help to make the stressors our children carry more tolerable, thereby leading to greater overall health.
