If anything, teaching yoga for children has reminded me not to take myself so seriously. Sure, this yoga stuff is important, but not at the expense of playtime (or, as the great Mister Rogers once called it, "the work of childhood"). While you should establish a certain amount of structure and routine, you also need to allow plenty of time for creative expression. Nourish imagination, ask for students' insights, and then genuinely listen to what they have to say.While my first day on the kids' yoga circuit had its challenges, I grew to love teaching children yoga. Why? Because kids have just as much to teach us, adults, as we have to teach them. They remind us that practice should be fun, and their innate inquisitiveness, creativity, and unbounded energy inspire us to adopt a greater sense of playfulness in our practice.
