Our fast-paced world can make even the most organized adult feel stressed out. So just imagine how this breakneck speed impacts your kid!
Your child may not be able to identify that the complex emotion they’re feeling is stress, so watch for warning signs like:
- acting out
- 床润湿
- 睡眠困难
- 撤回
- physical symptoms like stomachaches and headaches
- 侵略性行为，尤其是对其他孩子的行为
众所周知，瑜伽可以帮助成年人放松身心，没有理由，很少瑜伽士无法获得同样的好处。
“Yoga helps children slow down and focus,” says Karey Tom from Charlotte Kid’s Yoga. A California State University学习发现瑜伽不仅改善了课堂表现，而且还有助于改善孩子的自我价值和自尊心。
实际上，卡里（Karey）说，越来越多的学校认识到瑜伽的力量，将其添加到他们的课程中，是一种健康的体育锻炼形式，是压力的积极应对机制。
“Something as simple as slowing down and taking deep breaths may help a child to be less anxious and more successful while taking a test,” she says.
将瑜伽介绍给您的孩子永远不会太早或太晚。
“孩子们天生知道如何做我们称为瑜伽的姿势，”卡里指出。有一个叫做快乐宝贝的姿势是有原因的！
为了将孩子的自然倾向集中在常规练习中，您可以在线寻找孩子友好的工作室或在线下载瑜伽课。您也可以从教孩子这七个平静的姿势开始。
Once your child knows the poses, practice regularly to ward off stress, although yoga can help a child calm down after experiencing a tantrum, too. Remember to keep it light and silly. Start off small — a pose or two may be all your child has the attention span for at first. With time and age, their practice will deepen.
“Slow down and be present! Connect with your child and let your child teach you,” Karey reminds us.
该系列的手臂伸展以弓步姿势完成，可以增强力量和耐力。这是一个令人振奋的姿势，可以通过有条理的呼吸来释放负面情绪。
Warrior I and II are great for beginners. Make this series fun. You can shout out warrior yells and banish play swords and breastplates.
The Cat-Cow stretch is said to create emotional balance while releasing your back muscles and massaging digestive organs. When you teach your child these simple poses, play up the animal theme. Moo as you drop your spine and meow as you arch your back.
This pose provides a great stretch while releasing tension in your neck and back. Again — play up the animal theme with barks and a wagging “tail,” which helps further stretch the leg muscles.
这种平衡的姿势提高了思维体的意识，改善了姿势并放松思维。
一个孩子可能会发现一只脚平衡的挑战，因此鼓励他将脚放在舒适的地方。它可以在地面上，在对面的踝关节附近，也可以在相反的膝盖上方支撑。
Extending arms overhead also helps maintain the pose.
We call the Corpse Pose “Sleeping Pose” when working with kids.
This pose typically closes out a yoga practice and encourages deep breathing and meditation. You can lay a warm, damp washcloth over your child’s eyes, play relaxing music, or give a quick foot massage while they rest in Savasana.
