They seem to never run out of time, money or resources, and this can create high expectations for parents to fulfill.

As I shared in my last blog post, the benefits of Toddler Yoga are vast. Check out the rest of the list below!

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.

Plow Pose (Halasana)

Kids love plow pose! This pose can be done solo, with a partner or even as a family! There are many benefits to plow pose, including improved digestion, relaxation of the nervous system, fatigue relief, and stretching of the shoulders and spine. This pose also calms anxiety and reduces irritability in our youngsters! And parents, all these benefits apply to you too. :)

So on your trip to the farm this fall to harvest apples or pumpkins, take a break and lay in the dirt as a plow!

Family Yoga is FUN! But there are many benefits of family yoga beyond what meets the eye.

Why should you do family yoga? How can it benefit your family?

And when that moment does come, when everyone has some time to spend together, some families aren't sure how to spend it. Well there are plenty of options, and family yoga is a wonderful one!
