Yoga, the 5,000-year-old art of fusing the body and mind, is not just transforming adults today. Because of its amazing benefits, yoga for children is all the rage and is spreading rapidly around the world. As a master kids’ yoga teacher for over fifteen years, I have personally witnessed how this ancient practice continuously supports children in their classrooms, homes, sports, and relationships. I have observed and interacted with kids of various ages around the world, and all have proven the same thing—the profound power of yoga is truly a gift that keeps on giving! I could list hundreds of benefits, but here are my favorite ten reasons why yoga is awesome for kids. 1. Maintains Flexibility and Strengthens Growing Bodies Children are born with an innate flexibility and yoga poses help to prolong this gift. Poses like Warrior One and Two aid in developing strength in their growing muscles and bodies. Strength and flexibility allow for fewer and less-severe injuries, especially when kids are engaged in sports, playground activity, and good ol’ rough and tumbling. 2. Enhances Concentration In kids’ yoga classes, some poses are fast moving while others are slow paced. This allows children to learn self-control, enhancing their focus and awareness. Moving from Flying Bird Pose (Warrior Three) to balancing in Tree Pose takes great attention—a skill that is essential in most learning environments. 3. Increases Self-Esteem When a child displays great strength, focus, and flexibility in Yoga, it does wonders for their confidence. A successful Crow Pose yields poise and power, which leads them to believe in and pursue their true abilities. Yoga success grants children...

November 8th, 2013 7:30 – 9:30PM Cost $20 | Sign up at www.darlingyoga.com Yogas Chitta Vritti Nirodha “yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind.” Mantra, meditation and mudras are powerful spiritual technologies that assist in rewiring your brain in powerful ways. Man – tra In Sanskrit, -man means mind and -tra means to protect. Mantras are tools that protect our mind from negativity. Everyone constantly thinks and speaks mantras all the time. “I don’t have enough time.” “I can’t do that.” “I’ll never have a meaningful relationship because ________.” “I’m broke, I can’t afford _______.” “I hate my thighs.” Fill in your own limiting statement here. Any of these sound familiar? Many of our internal mantras are not serving our highest good and helping further us on our path of destiny. In the chakra system, the 7th chakra governs our thoughts. This is the first pathway in the manifesting current, which is the downward path through the chakra system. Our thoughts create. Period. What do you spend your time dwelling on? Thinking about? Mulling over in your mind? Anything up there in that noggin of yours you’d like to get rid of? Mantras and meditation are like the delete button for negative thoughts. Bhavani Maki, author of The Yogi’s Roadmap says, “Yoga is the practice of eliminating all self-limiting, self-defeating, self-negating thoughts.” YEAH! Sign me up for that, right? Science is confirming what yoga has known for a few thousand years or so. Our thoughts create dis-ease. So how can we get a hold of the monkey in our minds? Mantras can powerfully alter negative thinking...
