Is it good for children to practice yoga? As we all know, yoga is a slimming exercise that is not limited by age, and its form has many advantages. So do you know that children can practice yoga? Let's see if the children practice yoga.
Do children practice yoga? 1 Can children practice yoga?
In everyone's cognitive ability, many people don't know that children can still practice yoga. Yoga originated in Indonesia, where many children have just started practicing yoga since childhood, and even yoga fitness has long been one of the necessary courses for children. Children can start practicing yoga from the age of 1.5, but they need to train with their parents. Children's growth and development will experience many different links personally, so parents should practice yoga at different levels according to their children's specific age, so that yoga fitness can play a greater practical effect.
In Indonesia, yoga courses have gradually entered many colleges and even kindergartens, and children's yoga is as indispensable as the new physical education courses. Children's yoga is divided into three age groups, 18 ~ 28 months, 28 ~ 36 months and 36 ~ 60 months. Only babies over three years old can do yoga without their parents waiting, and babies in the first two age groups must be accompanied by their parents for training. In addition, children's yoga needs different levels of yoga practice according to the bone growth and IQ level of children of every age.
Benefits of children practicing yoga:
1, increase vital capacity
Children's yoga is not as strict as adult yoga, but it still attaches great importance to deep inhalation, which not only helps to increase vital capacity, but also helps to improve asthma and bronchial sensitivity.
Step 2 correct your figure
Nowadays, children are under too much pressure to study and train, and young children will hunch over and have stiff muscles. Some flexion and extension postures of the spine can correct children's bad postures, exercise flexibility, interaction and coordination, make muscles grow and develop healthily, and are also conducive to bone growth and development. In addition, it can also alleviate the fatigue of cervical spine and back caused by long-term study and training before computer.
3. Help chubby children lose weight.
Yoga is not violent, but it is very intense. It is a good way to lose weight for children who are obese simply because of the problem of diet and lack of fitness exercise. Because yoga fitness stipulates that the diet is relatively light (but not vegetarian, but high-quality protein), and the whole process of fitness exercise can also help massage the internal organs, so children can lose weight while their appetite gets better and they fall asleep, and at the same time they can lose weight under the action of good habits.
4, improve attention
Balance in yoga requires high concentration. This is a difficult area for children who love to play and play. They will learn to manage their concentration bit by bit in "practice", which is very beneficial to their future study, training and life.
Is it good for children to practice yoga? Parent-child yoga is rare.
Recently, the reporter visited several large gymnasiums with relatively complete projects, such as Zhu Min Road, Taoyuan Road, Minsheng Road and Avenue of Stars, and found almost no projects to practice children's yoga. However, according to the reporter, many provinces outside the region have set up "parent-child yoga" projects. In this regard, experts from the District Maternal and Child Health Hospital believe that the conditions for opening a "parent-child yoga" project in Nanning are not yet mature; Many pregnant women can't keep up with the concept and consumption level, and women who have just given birth generally can't do it. Most pregnant women are rushing back to work, so they don't have enough time to practice yoga with their babies, because yoga also needs to be persisted, and it doesn't work if they do it once or twice occasionally. Experts believe that the most important thing is that parent-child yoga is just a form, a nominal name. In fact, in real life, mothers can choose the right time and place to touch their babies, which is more effective than doing parent-child yoga for a certain time.
Because the baby's body and bones are particularly tender, experts suggest that if the baby wants to practice yoga, he must arrange the movements according to the physiological characteristics of different babies and find a professional coach with a medical background to guide him. Never practice according to some books and CDs. In addition, practicing parent-child yoga is a gradual process, generally 20 minutes at a time, and it is best to gradually increase the intensity after the baby and mother adapt.
Children are discouraged from practicing yoga.
Experts believe that adult men and women are more suitable for practicing yoga, but they can choose one or two kinds of yoga that are more suitable for them. Men can practice strength yoga, and only those with a certain foundation can do it at room temperature. People who want to lose weight can practice high-temperature yoga. It accelerates human metabolism at high temperature, dissolves excess fat, and excretes fat through sweat and urine. The effect of losing weight will be more obvious, so it will be very comfortable to lose weight. However, if you need professional occasions, it is best to practice in a yoga studio, and the effect is better. I hope people with beautiful figure can practice ballet yoga, which is more exercise than high temperature yoga. Those who want to enhance their feelings can practice love yoga and communicate through body. At present, there are many yoga programs in Nanning, and citizens can choose other fitness programs instead.
So is it suitable for children to practice yoga?
Most gym coaches think that children are not suitable for yoga. Because the child is still in the stage of growth and development, the muscles and bones are soft, and improper exercise will affect the development of bones. Because yoga is different from ordinary exercise, it must concentrate on consciousness and keep the body in a certain posture for a period of time to achieve the unity of body and mind, but most children can't meet this requirement.
The coach suggested that it is more appropriate for children to practice judo, taekwondo and aerobics, which is more in line with their growth, development and lively personality. If you really want your children to practice yoga, I suggest you find a professional yoga instructor to guide you. It's ok to practice yoga to make children do some simple actions, but don't overdo it. At the registration office of a project in the gym, the reporter learned that there are judo, taekwondo, bodybuilding, aerobics, cheerleading and children's tap dancing, and there are more than a dozen projects.
