When children practice yoga it increases their confidence, builds concentration and strengthens growing bodies.

Helps to maintain flexibility and mobility in all joints and muscles.
Encourages the retention of calcium to help build strong bones through weight-bearing postures.

Yoga also increases attention span and improves concentration among children. Children get better at dealing with anxiety and stress because they learn to incorporate relaxation and breathing techniques into daily life.

For children with behavioural issues, yoga can improve their impulses in a positive direction and provides them with an outlet as a way to manage their behaviour.
