Yoga originates in India and it is good for both your body and mind. Anyone can do yoga -
women or men, adults or children. Special children's classes are devised to help them to cope
with pressures they feel from their schoolwork. By learning how to co-ordinate breathing and
movement, yoga helps them to develop body awareness, self-control, and flexibility. Taking up
yoga also helps them to focus and become better with daily routines. Start doing yoga by setting
aside a regular time for it. Go slowly, listen to your body and don’t push it too far as yoga is not
