Yoga basics for kids combat childhood obesity

0 Comments

If you're looking for inspirational stories for kids, look no further. According to a WJBK FOX 2 News report, children in Detroit are using yoga and stretching to watch their weight. This city-wide initiative was started by a local nonprofit dedicated to fighting childhood obesity.

Called the Work It Out Foundation, the organization has partnered with the Children's Hospital of Michigan to bring yoga basics for kids to a number of elementary schools in the city.

Currently, more than 1,700 Detroit schoolchildren are enjoying the benefits of yoga, all thanks to the nonprofit's work, the Detroit Free Press Digital Host reports.

Studies have shown that yoga is an effective way to get kids moving and help them stay at a healthy weight. For instance, a report published in the journal Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice found that a 12-week yoga program helped teens at risk for type 2 diabetes shed unwanted pounds.

The Kaplan University Center for Health and Wellness adds that yoga is good for all sorts of childhood-specific problems, including stress, wandering attention and body image issues.

0 Comments

Of the many personal success factors that Americans care about, one that people most commonly fret over is the need to maintain a healthy weight. Not only can it be difficult to get to a decent body mass, but it may be just as hard to stay there. Fortunately, yoga and health benefits extend to weight loss.

A number of studies support the idea that your yoga routine can help you shed excess weight while moderating blood pressure and reducing blood sugar at the same time.

Don't believe it? Check out a report in the journal Health Promotion International, which states that internet-delivered exercise programs based on yoga and other mild exercises helped nearly 500 participants meet their weight loss goals.

Another study, this one conducted by University of Pittsburgh researcher Kelliann David, found that behavioral interventions that include yoga techniques can help people balance their calorie intake and their energy expenditure.

Even teens may benefit from yoga's health and benefits. A report published in the journal Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice described a yoga program that successfully helped more than a dozen adolescents shed weight and improve their self-esteem.

Though it was founded in the 1980s, Dahn Yoga's basic precepts and techniques are directly descended from methods practiced five millennia ago in East Asia. These precepts include the importance of the mind's partnership with the body, as well as the need for a balanced bond between the two.

Today, thousands of Americans practice Dahn Yoga everyday, many of whom are delightedly trying it for the first time. Taking a little time out of one's day to stretch, breathe, pose and meditate with a gentle smile on one's face can radically change one's mood and outlook.

This blog offers responses to news items that prominently feature Dahn Yoga and its neighborhood centers.
