Yoga Nidra For Children and Teens.

We all know the debilitating effects of stress on adults but did you know that babies as young as six months old respond to adult arguments physiologically. Their heart rate increases, as does their blood pressure. Stress hormones have been found in their urine. The impact of stress on children affects their memory, ability to concentrate and regulate their emotions. On the positive side studies show that when children are less stressed they actually perform better.

  • Inner Peace

    Yoga Nidra helps children to cultivate self-reflection, develop stillness and connect to something greater than themselves.

  • Emotional Elasticity

    Yoga Nidra is an easy way to help children experience how to observe emotions come and go without reacting.

  • Less Stress

    Not all children are able to vocalise their fears. Yoga Nidra is a powerful way of resolving stressful issues without having to talk about it.

  • Self-Worth

    Positive affirmations focus on drawing a sense of self-esteem from the inside rather than what others think.

  • Feel the Love

    Yoga Nidra is an inner sanctum that children can learn to access whenever they need to feel loved and supported.

  • Power of the Mind

    Yoga Nidra has been shown to improve memory and cognitive performance. Perfect for exam time!

ADHD.

Studies have shown that meditation and Yoga Nidra train the same areas of the brain that show reduced activity in children with ADHD.

Awareness techniques utilised in a bespoke ADHD Yoga Nidra include left and right nostril breathing to balance both hemispheres of the brain and consistent practice to increase gamma activity.

Results from a Clinical Neurophysiology Study show that meditation training combined with cognitive therapy were comparable to those achieved by children on medication.
