Kids and Yoga

[Guest guest]

Greetings,

 

I believe that children can benefit as well as anyone from the practice of

Yoga Asana. I

do not have kids, but my friends's children practice with them, and it is a

wonderful

experience for them as a family. No matter what style of Yoga Asana you

practice, the

Kundalini will rise. Kundalini Yoga seems to make this process happen much

faster, and

has thus been called by Yogi Bhajan a "technology", rightly so. Again, as with

all of these

posts on Pranayam and Kundalini energy, the most important thing is that an

experienced

teacher be present to instruct properly. Personally, I would not advise that

any child

practice Kundalini Yoga. However, I am not an expert on it. I practice Yoga as

taught by

Sri Swami Sivananda Saraswati, which focuses on relaxation, involving lots of

Sivasana

between each posture. I would deem this appropriate for some children.

However, as

Ayurveda teaches us, we are all unique. Some children may have the capacity to

benefit

from Yoga, while others would not.

 

Blessings,

that

appropriate?
