YOGA FOR CHILDREN
Methodology
of teaching yoga is adapted for children aged 6 to 13
years.
Practicing yoga techniques contributes to proper physical and
mental development.
Yoga techniques help to correct the posture of the body and
prevent or improve conditions such as scoliosis. They also help increase concentration, learning
skills,
self-confidence and determination.
Yoga harmonizes aggressiveness and the child develops a positive
attitude for life, for itself and for its surrounding.
Our experiences
from working with children were presented in the research
study "Yoga for school-aged children" conducted
in Stip Yoga Society, with collaboration from the Yoga
Science Center in Skopje. Authors: P.K. Hassanagas; I. Edrovska; V. Aleksovska; E. Stoimenova,
K. Edrovska.
The study was presented at the 5. Congress for Yoga
and Holistic Medicine, 1994 in Annesy, France and on the
First Yoga Scientific Meeting (with international participation)
'Science and spirituality at the end of 20 Century', June
1997, Ohrid, Macedonia. The Study
was also published in 'Yoga -
Health
and Harmony' Magazine, issue 82/83, 1994.
