How we engage children in yoga and why Iyengar yoga?
Iyengar yoga is often synonymous with props, detailed instructions in asana and precision in alignment. Come to a children’s class, however, and the only prop you usually find is the sticky mat. Quick instructions come with a pacy variety of asanas. Precision in alignment occurs as the teacher taps into the child’s imagination, suggesting they have feet like ‘parallel train tracks’, or lie down like a ‘brand new pencil’.
