Breathing in and out of the nose is a key component of a children’s yoga practice.
Benefits of nose breathing:
- Reduces stress
- Gets more oxygen into the lungs
- Helps kids to calm themselves by focusing on their breath
In contrast, mouth breathing is shallow, and can cause symptoms of fight/flight in kids.
Try the Inhale Pose below:
“One of the most important parts of any yoga pose,
Is remembering to breathe deeply
By inhaling through my nose.”
