Yoga Breathing for Children: The Power of Full, Conscious Breaths 

In today's fast-paced world, children are often caught up in the whirlwind of school, extracurricular activities, and social interactions, leaving little room for moments of stillness. Teaching children the simple yet effective practice of Full Yoga Breathing can be a game-changer. Specific pranayama techniques can be difficult for a child to remember in times of need. I find focusing on full, conscious breaths is an accessible way to help kids manage their emotions, improve their health, and cultivate a sense of calm. 

Why Teach Children Yoga Breathing? 

Breathing is something we do naturally, but how often do we breathe fully and consciously? For children, learning to breathe deeply can be a powerful tool to help them navigate intrusive thoughts or feelings, impulsive behaviours, or general experiences of stress. By teaching children yoga breathing, we equip them with a lifelong skill that supports both mental and physical well-being.

Here is a tutorial on how to teach Full Yoga Breathing to Children, with discussion on the value of teaching yoga breathing to children:

Teaching children the value of full, conscious breaths is a gift that will serve them throughout their lives. Rather than overwhelming them with numerous breathing techniques, focusing on the simple practice of Full Yoga Breathing can have profound benefits. By teaching children to incorporate this practices into their daily life, we can help our children grow into calmer, more balanced, and more resilient individuals. 

Curious about how you can teach yoga to children? Imagine the impact you could have by guiding the next generation towards a mindful, balanced life. By learning how to teach yoga and mindful breathing to children, you’ll be giving them tools to manage stress, build resilience, and cultivate inner peace from an early age. Check out our online, self-paced and fully accredited Kids Yoga Teacher Training, and empower children with tools and practices for cultivating contentment, emotional regulation, and self-awareness.

Bonus certification - Ayurvedic Psychology Foundations: Mental Health is one of societies biggest challenges, and I really feel that the better we’re equipped with understanding the mind from a truly Holistic Perspective, the better we’re able to support our children.
