CLEVELAND CLINIC – Yoga is good for both your body and mind.

As September marks National Yoga Month, Gina Robinson, MD, pediatrician for Cleveland Clinic Children’s, highlights the health benefits it can offer kids.

“Yoga is a good way to get moving. It helps with flexibility, strength and promotes mindfulness,” Dr. Robinson said.

Kids ages six and up should get at least one hour of physical activity a day, and yoga can be a fun way to help them reach this goal.

Along with the physical benefits, Dr. Robinson said practicing yoga encourages mindfulness and teaches kids tactics like deep breathing.

During yoga, this allows them to be in the moment and tune out the distractions of cellphones and other devices.

Deep breathing can also be used outside of yoga to help kids manage difficult emotions from stress to anxiety.

If you want your child to try yoga or something new in general, Dr. Robinson said it’s important to lead by example.

“Parents are the best example for their children,” Dr. Robinson said. “When we want our kids to try something new, a lot of times it helps if we do it with them.”

Whether it’s yoga or riding a bike, Dr. Robinson said it’s crucial to work with your child to find something they enjoy.

That way, they’re more likely to reach their daily activity goals.
