Yoga is very different for children than it is for adults. While many people are accustomed to a quiet, calming hour-long class, children cannot sit still for long periods of time. Yoga can be introduced to younger children through storybooks<\/strong>, which help them to illustrate the benefits of yoga. Yoga can be practiced outside of school, and children can do so at home with their families.  Practicing yoga with parents<\/strong> is a great way for everyone to bond while also providing children with much-needed one-on-one time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
