Help your child grow with confidence, focus, and resilience. Our child-friendly sessions incorporate playful yoga, storytelling, mindful meditation techniques, and emotional regulation techniques rooted in Yogic science.

Understanding Kapha Dosha in Children

In Ayurveda, childhood is considered the Kapha stage of life, characterized by qualities like
heaviness, stability, and moisture. While these attributes support growth and development, an excess of Kapha can lead to imbalances such as lethargy, weight gain, and respiratory issues. Therefore, it's beneficial to incorporate practices that counterbalance these tendencies.

However Dosha assessment questionnaire helps to identify the difficulties of the child and predominance of other doshas other than Kapha dosha, based on which customised yogic practices will be provided.

Yoga Practices to Balance Kapha in Children

Engaging children in specific yoga practices can help balance Kapha dosha:

• Dynamic Asanas: Incorporating active poses like Sun Salutations (Surya
  Namaskara), Warrior I and II (Virabhadrasana I & II), and Extended Side Angle (Utthita Parsvakonasana) can invigorate Kapha energy, promoting circulation and reducing stagnation.
• Chest-Opening Poses: Poses that open the chest, such as Camel Pose (Ustrasana) and Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana), can help alleviate respiratory congestion, a common Kapha-related issue.
• Stimulating Pranayama: Breathing techniques like Kapalabhati (Skull Shining Breath) and Bhastrika (Bellows Breath) generate internal heat and stimulate metabolism, counteracting Kapha's cool and heavy qualities.
• Engaging Activities: Incorporating playful elements like animal sounds or storytelling during yoga sessions can keep Kapha-dominant children motivated and engaged.

Benefits of Yoga for Kapha-Dominant Children

Regular yoga practice tailored to balance Kapha can offer several benefits:

• Enhanced Energy Levels: Dynamic movements stimulate circulation and combat lethargy.
• Improved Respiratory Health: Chest-opening poses help clear congestion and support lung function.
• Better Digestion: Stimulating asanas and pranayama can enhance digestive fire (Agni), addressing slow metabolism.
• Emotional Balance: Yoga fosters mental clarity and emotional resilience, countering Kapha's tendency toward attachment and inertia.

By integrating these yoga practices into a child's routine, especially those exhibiting Kapha dominance, we can support their physical health, emotional balance, and overall development.

Why Chakra Activation Matters for Children

Chakras are energy centers within the body that influence various aspects of our well-being. In children, these centers are in the developmental stage, and nurturing them can lead to:

• Emotional Regulation: Practices focusing on chakras help children understand and manage their emotions, fostering a sense of balance and calm.
• Enhanced Self-Awareness: Engaging with chakra-based activities encourages children to tune into their thoughts and feelings, promoting introspection and self understanding.
• Improved Communication Skills: By activating the throat chakra, children can develop better verbal expression and confidence in sharing their ideas.
• Boosted Confidence and Creativity: Stimulating the solar plexus (manipura chakra) and sacral chakras(muladhara chakra) can enhance a child's self-esteem and creative abilities.

Outstanding academic performance: The Ajna Chakra, or Third Eye Chakra, is the sixth energy center in yogic science, located between the eyebrows The term "Ajna" translates to "command" or "perception." It is linked to the pineal and pituitary glands, influencing vision, sleep, and hormonal balance. When balanced, the Ajna Chakra fosters:

• Heightened Intuition: An enhanced ability to perceive beyond ordinary senses.
• Mental Clarity: Improved decision-making and focus.

Integrating Chakra Practices into Children's Routines

Incorporating chakra-focused activities into daily routines can be both fun and beneficial:

• Yoga Poses: Simple poses like Tree Pose for grounding (root chakra) or Cobra Pose for heart opening can be introduced.
• Certain poses, such as Child's Pose (Balasana) and Forward Bends, encourage introspection and stimulate the third eye region.
• Pranayama (Breath Control): Practices like Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing) balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain, promoting mental clarity.
• Chanting "Om": The vibration of the "Om" mantra resonates with the frequency of the Ajna Chakra, aiding in its activation.

Benefits of a Balanced Chakra

• Enhanced Intuition: A stronger connection to inner guidance.
• Improved Focus: Greater ability to concentrate and process information.
• Emotional Stability: Reduced anxiety and clearer perception of life's challenges.
• Spiritual Growth: A deeper sense of connection to the self and the universe.

Regular yoga practice, combined with meditation and breathwork, can support the health and balance of all Chakras, leading to profound personal transformation.
