Namita Nayyar:
Please share insight on your latest book “Yoga for Children”
Yamini Muthanna:
Yoga for Children, personally, is my most important work. I believe that it is best to equip our children earlier in life rather than repair them later. The Children’s Book of Yoga (Step-by-step) is an easy-to-understand guide to inspire kids to adapt yoga into their lifestyle early in life. The book covers all those aspects a child deals with during their growing years. From the start of puberty through, the growing up years till adulthood, yoga practice can help in many ways. The book has a series of asana practice to deal with the pressure and stress which comes with the modern education system. The book covers simple yoga asana sequences to practice during times of examination stress, performance pressure, menstrual discomfort, etc. It covers small exercises to focus the mind and arrange their thoughts. The book features little yogis who are practicing yoga as their daily routine to inspire and motivate the young readers of the book and also parents to ensure them that Yoga practices have great benefits for children.
The most important dialogue a child hears from their parents, teachers, grandparents, and anyone for that matter is “focus”. Nobody teaches them how to focus. This book “The Children’s Book of Yoga (Step-by-step)” is an honest attempt to train the kids how to focus. The practice of yoga can be of great help!
