Why do Yoga as a child?
While doing research for Yoga in Schools I found this article that really shows why we can and should teach yoga to children. In the Iyengar method we do not formally start teaching yoga till a child is 8 years old. Until then we play with yoga. I follow that philosophy.
Here is the article that I found, and its' source.
