When children "no follow" Yoga sessions 
There
Sometimes it seems that children do not follow the family yoga sessions. Of course, this is a statement made from what we understand by following a meeting. And, as we have noticed on numerous occasions, which is supposed to be ... is not.
few days ago two mothers attended class with two girls, one of two years and another of three. Small showed a tremendous need for space exploration and affirmation in their decisions. In other words, adults performed the majority of the proposals and they were running around us and gave themselves to develop their ability to say "this is not what I do now." Whether this was a success or frustration depends solely on our point of view.
If our objective was that the girls met the proposals were made, had failed.
But that is far from our goal ...
Something that mothers appreciated in the moment that happened, was that they were able to relax completely delivered a few minutes while the children played quietly in the courtroom. This shows a high degree of confidence in both mothers and their daughters, a grand opening by allowing something to happen that had not happened or that happened very rarely. The girls felt that their mothers were present but did not have his eyes on them. Being present is a success, feel the presence of another well.
There were moments of play and abetting and was no opportunity for dialogue between mother and daughter. From trying to convince the daughter to participate, to accept that the time required another attitude and finally get to enjoy the entire session. To listen, be understanding and enjoying the moment is a success.
But yoga session did not end where we thought it was over - an hour after launch. Anna wrote me that Hela had reproduced the yoga session at home in a spontaneous and special. The Little took the role of teacher and asked her mother to make a doll all she had done in class: show timid, refusing to do the exercises and run around his mother. While Anna was playing with the doll all these attitudes, Hela - who had apparently been distracted during the session, reproduced in its role as a teacher, all the exercises that had been proposed in class while laughing out loud what he was doing the doll and asked to repeat the game over and over again. Hela
has done a wonderful awareness process: it was located where the observer using a doll as an object of observation. Attributing the characteristics that she is hindering the way at this time (shyness, saying no ...), has been looking at and understood. Perfectly detected that shyness is part of his ego and is able to distance themselves from him. As adults we often need several techniques and years of meditation to realize this and start living being aware of it.

I've never had any doubt that children are able to detect and take advantage of every opportunity to offer them to grow and heal. That is our goal to offer and give us a chance. Whatever we do with them - yoga, cooking, dancing, reading, walking ... - do it with consciousness, the fullness that comes to witness its grandeur is worth it.
