Kids are great! The children (and teens) of today are the leaders of tomorrow, thus it is really important when, how and what we teach them. To teach something to a child means it may quickly become innate to them, completely natural. Teaching yoga to a young person could therefore, enable them to better identify with their minds and bodies, potentially gifting them with the ability to always be open, to see the joy and fun in life long into adulthood, regardless of what it may lay on their plate.
A couple of months ago I completed the Rainbow Kids Yoga (RKY) 3 day teacher training course, where you learn how to teach yoga to children (big and small), either in separate children’s groups, or in family groups. I’d highly recommend the teaching for anyone who has an interest in exploring what it is that makes a child’s innocence and openness so special, and why it’s important to give them the tools to help to keep these gifts intact. So much love to the RKY team, and big thanks to them for enabling me to now extend my teaching from adults to both young children and teens. I feel there is such a need to help our children and teens to cope with the ever increasing demands of life, especially in our capital city!
