Originating in India, the 20,000 plus year old ancient practice of Yoga remains popular in many households today for being a great way to exercise, stay physically fit, reduce stress, and maintain mental balance.
Yoga is not only effective for adults who want a strenuous but peaceful workout. It’s become one of the primary non-competitive exercise recommendations for kids and teens who are trying to reduce stress caused by school and other activities.
Yoga is also said to help improve confidence and self-esteem levels in children and teens.
Studies have shown that children and young people laugh an average of 300-400 times per day. Laughter Yoga for Teens & Children has become an ideal way to help children and teens “laugh off” any stress they may be carrying around. Additional research reveals evidence of increased student performance and achievement in school.
With a reduction in stress levels, increase in flexibility, concentration, focus, confidence, self-esteem,
school performance, and overall achievement levels; exposing children and teens to a daily Yoga exercise routine might be an excellent way to guide them toward improved health, wellness, and balance in their very busy young lives.
