I think, if you are reading an article and you are also a yoga enthusiast, there will be a buzz, because in such a fast-paced society, your yoga mat is a pure land, leaving all other thoughts behind and thinking nothing but silence. If you can concentrate quietly for a while every day, it will be a wonderful experience.
So, in other words, if children can be quiet for a while in this noisy society and find their inner focus, how great it would be!
As a promoter of children's yoga, I think children's yoga is very suitable for entering kindergartens, because it can benefit more children, not just a small number of children in yoga halls.
Of course, we also need to think from the perspective of kindergartens, why should kindergartens accept yoga for children! I want to talk about this topic today.
As an educational institution, kindergartens have educational goals for children. Whether yoga can help kindergartens play a role in the process of realizing children's educational goals is a concern of kindergartens. Now we can see that extracurricular activities in kindergartens usually include: dancing, taekwondo, art, singing and so on. Now some kindergartens have gradually joined Tesco's intellectual development projects. From these courses, we can see that learning hopes to help children have a healthy body and a certain artistic accomplishment through these projects. If they can help children develop their intelligence, I believe parents will like them better.
And children's yoga can help? This is a doubt of many kindergartens. While promoting how good children's yoga is, we also need to think about kindergartens. In fact, we will help kindergartens achieve our goal of educating children.
Let's take a look at the needs of kindergartens!
We can know five areas of preschool education: health, language, society, science and art, which are the training goals of kindergartens for children.

3. Be able to carry out artistic expression activities in a way you like;
Health goal
For the healthy part, the effect of yoga is self-evident. Good health of children is the foundation of life and study. Therefore, yoga can help children grow up healthily, help children develop their bones, and regulate endocrine and emotions. Many children's emotions are difficult to control, and they often get angry with their parents and even hit people. Yoga can help regulate endocrine through breathing, thus better regulating mood.
In addition, yoga can correct children's bad posture, let children learn to stand upright in practice, and bring upright posture into life.
Language goal
The language of the yoga teacher is beautiful. Teaching children to describe different plants and animals and express their feelings with rich guiding words is very beneficial to their language development.
For example, when we do the "sun style", we will teach our children that the sun is warm and golden, let the warm sunshine shine into our hearts, give us light and energy, and so on, so that children can feel warmth and strength.
Social goal
Socialization is something that a child must learn. A child who knows how to cooperate and communicate will have a great influence on his life. So how can children's yoga improve their social skills? Mainly through * * * classes, cooperative postures and games, let children learn to cooperate, learn to listen to others and learn to express their feelings.
When we do some cooperative gestures, we will teach children how to express themselves and whether they are in a comfortable position. At the same time, we will also learn to pay attention to whether the partners are comfortable, so that we can complete it together. When the cooperative action is completed, it will bring a lot of happiness and a sense of accomplishment to the children.
Scientific goal
There will be a lot of scientific knowledge in yoga movements, such as natural phenomena, cosmic roaming, forest animals and so on. We need to tell our children the truth of science while practicing yoga.
For example, the weather forecast series will tell children why it rains; The universe series will tell children about the knowledge of the major planets in the universe, and forest animals will tell children about the habits of small animals, so that children can exercise and learn while playing.
Artistic goal
Children's yoga includes not only movements, but also music, singing and painting, which can improve children's artistic perception. Children's yoga music has cheerful and soothing help to bring children into different scenes, and it will also let children enter "meditation" through singing, relieve inner pressure, and talk to themselves in the form of Datura painting, which is also enlightening in art and gives children a constant perspective.
Many people will ask, is children's yoga suitable for children? Is it suitable for children in China? Is it suitable for kindergarten children? Is it suitable for kindergarten?
There are thousands of benefits of yoga, so in today's article, I just look at it from the kindergarten's point of view, and observe whether children's yoga can help the children with the training target in kindergarten.
