Abstract

Today's life is full of stress and pressure for children and adults. Pressure in school, busy parents, comparative sports, and the demands of active participation are the contributing factors of stress. Teaching yoga to children can help them learn to relax, teach self-control, and instill sense of peace in their daily lives. Yoga can counter the pressure of this fast-paced society and help children quite their minds. In addition, learning a breathing practice i.e. pranayama can help children see that the mind and body are connected.
