The philosophy of yoga is only a few thousand years old. has found in her body-oriented form, as the global
Hatha Yoga distribution, the goal of exercising in the body
is to get moving and free of tension and again to lead to such a state. Any physical
Attitude is always an expression of the inner being of the people. Conversely
act selectively applied external attitudes positive effect on our mood and our
feeling - and with regular repetition on our thinking.
Thus, the objective of which Hatha Yoga wants to achieve through the various exercises as summarized
: in a moving body is a free spirit.
It is not about the separation of body, mind or soul, but of the unit.
"Yoga" is a word from the Sanskrit (ancient Indian dialect), meaning "connection".
addition to a large number of very different postures, with simple stretching exercises begin
and lead to some very complex attitudes for advanced play, especially the respiratory
a large role in practice.
The basis of all practice is changing the principle of tension - relaxation.
children practice like yoga because it is their natural urge to move
offers new possibilities of physical self-awareness.
Even as early as preschool age from about three years, children can practice yoga with appropriate guidance.
in my group and in kindergartens, in which I teach are in addition to "inconspicuous" children
mostly those with problems such as insomnia, poor concentration, Stuttering, with
sensory-motor deficits and behavioral problems, but also children
with asthma, cystic fibrosis, or migraine.
Here I am building a yoga unit is always on so that I at first the children moving ice-breakers, but also to

Learning disabilities?
Often these problems is an internal state of stress based on the children, which is based on their
person, but also in their social environment.
Since during a yoga moves unit of about 30 minutes in children of preschool age, the whole body
, stretched and stretched, will solve itself "almost alone" by the
outer (= physical) practice, the inner tension.
this I make sure that children do not stop the air when they will be strenuous, perhaps, learn
but with much joy and pleasure to see how her mood improves when they snort

Already by the intense breathing out a great many psychological stress is relieved and discharged.
This is playful, by practicing as a strong wind can whistle through the hills.
First we make our gegräscht slightly back, stretch the arms to the ceiling and try to feel like a "mountain".
We feel our connection to Earth and have a "large and lofty as the Alps".
Then we let the wind come and breathe in through your nose and let the wind noise by a
breath on a long "PF" arise. This is
stimulated diaphragm activity and the children automatically breathe deeply and off.

us laugh with each other.
Just below the mountain peaks, the mountain forest. The children represent trees here again
feel their connection to the earth and let the branches (= arms) gently swaying in the wind.
The "classic" tree posture of hatha yoga, where we stand on one leg, would the children are
overwhelming. Therefore, this "one leg" rather than "Stork" Therefore, with raised leg on the

If the "stork" discovered a frog, he leans far forward and takes him down with a long beak
(= arms) and stretches back a long way up, so the frog hinuterrutschen the long neck
can. Of course the frogs do not eat simple, so
bounce all the "frogs" as fast and far it goes to safety.
A good hiding place is the reeds at the edge of water, we stand upright and push each other down the
hands up slowly, as the reeds now drives from a flower.
When in late summer, the wind through passes (with a slight "hu", which again stimulates the
exhalation and total respiration deepened) fly the seeds through the air:
with the fingers, we mimic the movement and slowly into the squat , until the fingers touch
/ seed the ground. Now we make very small, because now we are
the seeds in the soil and wait for winter to pass. We are slowly building again,
that we grow as new reeds in the spring until we meet again very long stretch to the ceiling.
From the observation of nature, plants and animals, the Hatha Yoga developed in India.
We find very many Exercises with evocative names like the lion, the mountain,
the crocodile that Kuhmaul and the tortoise.
Origin of Hatha Yoga is the child's perception is very close and similar, as well
children want what they see around them imitate.
By the conscious actions they do so very different.
The weak child feels himself to actually practice as a strong lion,
the fragile child is a mighty mountain.
The breathing exercises are reduced internal stresses and the fact that we are not in yoga
in each unit to introduce something completely new, but familiar to repeat and supplement
other exercises recognizes a learning weak child's ability and (perhaps) learn also
his way:
just as all of us is easiest, because we have already done as an infant:
access by working to our environment and us is to he live.
helps the perception of their children to experience the "essence" of hatha yoga, the philosophy as spiritual exercises
background of intense and direct.
stands in contrast to the cognitive training for adults not in the foreground, but the emotional-spiritual
immediately, so we the children are perhaps even closer to the
roots of yoga. Due to the various movements and postures des Hatha-Yoga wird eben nicht
nur die Motorik und Körperwahrnehmung gefördert, sondern auch Konzentration und Lernverhalten.
Auf einer tieferen Ebene erfahren die Kinder Hilfe auf ihrem Weg der Inkarnation in dieses Leben.
Denn:
Kinder üben nicht Yoga, sie erleben ihn.
