John Linden, Editor @ www.themostchic.com shared with Healthy Lombard that yoga, an ancient art, is great not only for the mind but for the body as well. Along with adults, even children can benefit immensely from this therapeutic practice.[1]

In fact, the yoga is tremendously beneficial for children as it promotes neuromuscular development,[2] improves body awareness and offers basic stretching and strengthening.[3]

In addition to this, yoga also helps maintain flexibility, strengthens a growing body, enhances concentration,[4] cultivates a relaxed state of body and mind, helps with stress management, sparks creativity in young minds, and teaches discipline and responsibility.
