Yoga is no stranger to everyone.
It comes from ancient India.
After thousands of years of development, it has become a widespread fitness exercise.
This kind of sports based on the harmony and unity of body, spirit and mind is increasingly loved and valued by everyone, not only in the adult world, but also among children and adolescents.
But it may not be easy for children to understand what yoga is about.
We need to use an appropriate way to let them have the opportunity to like this kind of exercise that is conducive to physical and mental health.

The author is a professional who holds a yoga teacher’s qualification certificate.
However, he did not design the course like ordinary children’s yoga teachers, but told children what yoga will bring us through simple picture stories.
On a sunny, sunny and sunny day, Little Rabbit plans to start a new day with yoga.
While he was practicing various yoga movements, he passed many small animals around him, and Little Rabbit hoped that all his friends would join in his yoga team.
But his good friends refused him with all kinds of things – the little lizard didn’t like everything in the morning, so he wanted to go back to bed angrily; The little fox was busy on his way and didn’t want to practice this stupid thing; The bird has a lot of ideas and would rather burp than do yoga on one leg…
Seeing the animals in Yoga Rabbit is like seeing all kinds of children.
When they see the rabbits practicing yoga, their first reaction is both subjective and direct, which is also a true portrayal of children in reality – the first lizard passing by is like a child who does not sleep at night, cannot get up in the morning, and is finally called by his parents, He was full of waking spirit.
Fox is a little guy who comes and goes in a hurry.
Just like a common personality type among children, they are eager to master the external things but lack of thinking.
They have not yet figured out what they are doing.
The bird would rather burp all the time than try the yoga movements taught by the rabbit.
It seems that the bird is very assertive and dismissive of other people’s suggestions.
In fact, it may be afraid of trying new things or unwilling to be pushed around.
The rabbit, who was rejected by his friends one after another, was also full of doubts.
He did not understand why everyone was unwilling to participate in such a good sport, which was obviously good, but was repeatedly rejected.
Fortunately, he is sure of one thing: he should not be swayed by his friends’ refusal, and it is better to practice alone than nothing.
So he took a deep breath and put on a “warrior style”.
Coincidentally, this action attracted the attention of two little mice.
They didn’t understand the meaning of the action, but they just felt curious and followed suit.
In this way, I saw that the little mouse was imitating the little rabbit, and the burping birds also joined in, and then attracted the little fox and the little lizard who was full of anger before getting up.
They do yoga together, feel the happiness brought by the exercise together, and feel the changes of these actions to their inner emotions.
Seeing this, we couldn’t help laughing.
It turned out that they were all children with a refusal attitude.
They simply took a 180 degree turn.
They not only accepted yoga, but also practiced together and enjoyed it.
Think about life.
When we expose children to various new things, as adults, we are very clear about which is good, which is bad, which should be learned, and which should be rejected.
But this is not the case with children.
For them, the most important thing is to take the initiative and feel happy and interesting.
Maybe they can feel the significance of learning, but if imposed on them, it will inevitably produce resistance.
Only through their own interest to accept and try, they are more likely to benefit from it.
Yoga Rabbit is not a book to teach children how to practice yoga, but a book to teach them how to love yoga.
It also tells adults not to always use adult thinking mode to guide children to accept new things.
Although we don’t know whether lizards, foxes, birds, and mice who were full of interest at the beginning will practice yoga as persistently as rabbits, they at least accepted yoga and learned from it.
Isn’t that enough? Finally, we will conclude with peaceful and quiet yoga movements.
