Yoga originates in India and it is good for both your body and mind. Anyone can do yogawomen or men, adults or children. Special children’s classes are devised to help them to cope with
pressures they feel from their schoolwork. By learning how to co-ordinate breathing and
movement, yoga helps them to develop body awareness, self-control, and flexibility. Taking up
yoga also helps them to focus and become better with daily routines. Start doing yoga by setting
aside a regular time for it. Go slowly, listen to your body and don’t push it too far as yoga is not a
competitive sport. Study each pose and practice it as you control your body and mind. Prepare well
before each session: avoid tight clothing and a full stomach. An ideal time to do yoga is before
breakfast.
