According to Aparna Ravichander, a longtime yoga teacher and mom to a four year old, the answer is a resounding yes. It's never too early to introduce mindfulness and compassion, explains Ravichander, co-founder of Triangle Shala in Morrisville, NC. We count to five and inhale, we count to five and exhale. We imagine a happy light inside us. No matter a child's age, you can start teaching the yogic principles of nonviolence and emotional management techniques.
Born in Chennai, India, Ravichander was introduced to yoga early in life as part of her school curriculum. Yoga is about community connection and awareness, helping children build resilience and emotional intelligence through gentle practices that can seamlessly integrate into their daily routines.
