Yoga - not just for adults

When one thinks of yoga, they traditionally think of adults, and specifically, women.
However, recent research has shown that yoga could be beneficial for children as well.
Stress relief
Although stress is something normally associated with adults, a key study by the Office of National Statistics found that one in ten children now suffer from mental health problems including stress, anxiety and depression.
YoungMinds, the children's mental health charity, claims that the problem is a growing one, and is dealt with by over a million children in the UK.
Gavin Baylis, a spokesman for YoungMinds, commented: "In the past 20 years, mental health problems have got worse, they are being shown in younger children and they are getting more complex."
The reasons behind this are varied, from academic worries to home problems.
There is a way to tackle this anxiety, according to Susie Lopez of Bent On Learning, a US-based charity that advocates Yoga for kids.
"Yoga provides a firm yet flexible foundation for developing a healthy body and mind, for life," she explained.
"School days can be long and challenging; peer pressure, stresses at home or in a busy social life can build up and debilitate even the most grounded of students. Yoga is a guide to life and its lessons can be ascribed to any goal; as I like to remind my kids, 'focus your mind, count your breath in time, practice every day and all will come your way.'"
Weight loss
Yoga is a fantastic way for children and adults to remain healthy, and lose weight if they need to.
Latest figures from the National Child Measurement Programme show that 19.2 per cent of children in Year 6 (aged 10-11) are obese, while a shocking 14.7 per cent of reception aged children also are.
Yoga is a gentle and easy exercise for children to partake in - losing weight and getting healthy without even noticing it.
It can be done at home supervised by parents, or in a child yoga class.

- Carrot Oil for Face Mar 15, 2021Hello :) You can use carrot oil only in small drops on your skin in the morning/during the day since it is highly potent. Carrot oil is rich in vitamins and is a very effective moisturiser. You can also mix a few drops of Carrot Oil with your favorite face cream. You can do that at least twice a week or include it in your daily skincare routine. Hope this helps.

- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021Hello :) Carrot Oil contains Beta Carotene and Vitamin A which, by eliminating toxic build-up and repairing sun-damaged skin, helps to improve skin complexion. Antiseptic properties also assist in reducing breakouts and the formation of acne. It is also great for hydrating the skin. So mixing it with Jojoba oil may help. I would also recommend mixing Jojoba oil and Tamanu oil as both have great moisturising properties and are great for acne prone skin. Hope this helps!
- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021I have acne. I have been using jojoba oil only but I noticed my face is sometimes dry. If I add carrot oil will it help moisturize my face and clear the spots or should I join argan oil to the mix?
