Yoga works wonders no matter what your age. For children, it’s a fun way to get active, increasing body coordination and awareness, and take time out from the digital realm. For teenagers, it’s also the perfect antidote to all the stresses of adolescence, fostering a greater sense of calm and body acceptance. (Warning: yoga may even make teens take a break from their mobile phone!). Then there’s mum, of course: whether you’re expecting your first baby, a new mum, or a mama to five established little earthlings then yoga is good for you. The most important part is to just do it.
Play it safe: please consult an expert, GP, or a qualified medical professional before commencing any yoga practice during pregnancy.
