Why yoga is good for children

Yoga strengthens body and mind. Gentle stretching exercises improve flexibility, promote coordination and strengthen the muscles. At the same time, children learn to be aware of their breathing, which supports their concentration and inner peace. Especially in unfamiliar vacation situations - with lots of new impressions - yoga helps to maintain emotional balance. Simple poses such as the "tree", the "cat-cow" or the "downward-facing dog" can be taught in a playful way and bring joy of movement to the little ones.

Yoga with children - how to make it work on vacation

Whether in a meadow, on the beach or in a hotel room - nature or quiet retreats are the ideal yoga location. The important thing is that the sessions should be short and suitable for children. Instead of long exercises, opt for short, creative sequences with an animal or nature theme. It's even better when mom, dad or siblings join in - this creates closeness and makes practicing together a vacation highlight. If you like, take advantage of special children's yoga courses offered by hotels. These provide additional variety - and give parents a well-deserved break.

Conclusion: more mindfulness with ease

Children's yoga is a wonderful addition to a vacation - it promotes movement, mindfulness and emotional balance in a playful way. Through short, age-appropriate exercises, children develop an initial feeling for their bodies and learn to listen to themselves. And who knows - maybe it will become a healthy ritual that will remain part of everyday family life long after the vacations are over.
