Yoga finds favor with young enthusiasts
Yoga is traditionally thought of as a type of exercise for adults. After all, this powerful method of stress management has been performed by grown-ups all over the world, many of whom have been able to enhance their physical, emotional and mental health simultaneously using the system's gentle stretches and poses.
However, more and more parents are bringing their children along to yoga sessions in order to share the benefits of the holistic mind-body regimen with their little ones. In fact, some classes are held for youngsters only.
According to the Indian Express, practicing the deep breathing techniques and soothing poses of yoga has helped children improve their focus and enhance their performance in several types of sports, including badminton.
For example, 10-year-old Vardaan Mehta has been able to hone his flexibility and protect himself from injury on the badminton court through the practice of yoga.
Recently, a yoga camp was held for Mehta and other junior badminton players around the community.
"Yoga has given me more power in my game," he told the news source.
