H&Y dreams of a society where every child is equipped with the tools provided through Yoga for Self Management.

Rather than depending upon external aids, every kid should be able to handle various stresses as they appear during their growth.

Health Management

Every child in school is taught that "Prevention is better than Cure". Yet, how many know how to implement this in practice. And for those that do, how many have the will and wherewithal to do so. Familiarizing the child with Yoga tools can help show them the path of "Preventive medicine"

Subtle Attitudinal Changes

Yoga helps bring about subtle attitudinal changes in life. If taught earlier on in life, they are easier implemented and can bring about a healthy change in society. Being able to harness ambition in a positive manner rather than through negativity will not only help the student excel but also make him / her a healthier and happier person. Is that not TOP priority what each parent seeks for his child?

The Challenge

Children by their very nature have to be handled very differently. Teaching cannot be imposed (or else it will be self defeating). Rather, Yogic principles have to be absorbed through Group activities and games. It is only then that the seed can be planted which will bear fruit over time.

The Pitfalls

Unfortunately Yoga is much abused in today's times. Practitioners with shallow knowledge inadvertently end up teaching practices that may not be suitable for all age groups. For example, how many of us know that children should NOT be introduced to Pranayama (Breathing) practices at an early age?

Therefore, while introducing children to Yoga is very desirable today, utmost care must be taken while initiating them into it, so that they reap the maximum benefits.

At H&Y, through a qualifed network of yoga practitioners, we undertake programs to educate and introduce Yoga in schools.

Please contact us, if you are a school / organization with a substantial child population and would like them to be exposed to yoga tools for effectively managing their lives.

* Our Children Yoga initiatives are presently being offered only in New Delhi, India.
