In the fifth in my series of Wanderlust Festival videos on why yoga is great for kids, Jenny Sauer-Klein, co-founder of AcroYoga, discusses how yoga can be a catalyst for children, increasing self-confidence and focus, and helping them feeling empowered in their bodies.  Jenny explains how the sport provides kids a wonderful foundation as they grow to feel strong and connected to their bodies.

Like Jenny, I know from my own experience that many adults who practice yoga have discovered that it brings a playfulness into their lives. When children are given the opportunity to discover their strengths and power in a non-competitive way, they, too, radiate self-confidence. 

This is the start of a 5 part series of videos recorded while representing momsTEAM at the Wanderlust Festival in Stratton, Vermont. My hope is to inspire you to experience yoga as a family. Our world is moving so fast these days. Parents are constantly running their children from game to game, friends' houses, extracurricular activities, and appointments. When we are moving so fast we aren't always aware of what is happening within our bodies. Taking time daily to slow down and go inward has many positive attributes for the mind, body and Spirit. Knowing what benefits yoga is bringing to the hundreds of thousands of adults worldwide, it only makes sense that we would want to share this gift with our children.
