will my kids like yoga?

Kids are like sponges, soaking up everything you do and say. Now is the time to lead them to a
healthy lifestyle: encouraging daily exercise and mindful, healthy eating.

A great way to get your kids engaged in exercise, without them really even knowing that they are exercising, is to do yoga with your kids. Without fail, every time I roll my yoga mat out on my living room floor, my kids get excited and run over to join me. We do sun salutations together, we bark in downward dog and we meow in cat pose. We have airplane contests: who can hold the pose the longest, we support each other in
headstand and we cheer each other on in crow pose. We even explode like volcanoes.

We move our bodies, we connect and most importantly we laugh. We find joy in our yoga practice together which sets them on the path to enjoying the movement of their bodies.
