Yoga principles for children

I believe in teaching not only the physical aspects of yoga - the poses and pose sequences - but also the principles of yoga which encourage children to develop healthy personal habits and positive and respectful attitudes towards themselves and others.  The principles that I focus on are:

• Practice Peace/Non-violence
• Be Honest/Truthfullness
• Be Generous/Non-stealing
• Practice Moderation/Non-greediness, self-control
• Be Clean/Purity, care for oneself, others, ones' community, etc.
• Be Content/Contentment
• Work Hard/Austerity
• Believe in Something Bigger/develop a connection with all things
• Have Alone Time/Self-study, self-worth, self-reliance
