Ans: Thank you for sharing your concern about your son's concentration and restlessness. It's quite common for children to struggle with focus and temper at times, especially at this age. The good news is that yoga can be incredibly beneficial in addressing these issues.

For an 8-year-old, yoga helps in multiple ways:
- Asanas: Specific yoga poses, like Tree Pose and Warrior Poses, require balance and concentration, which naturally train the mind to focus better.
- Pranayama: Breathwork, such as deep belly breathing or alternate nostril breathing, calms the nervous system and reduces restlessness.
- Guided Meditation- Through mindfulness and relaxation techniques, children learn how to manage their emotions better, helping to reduce temper outbursts.

With regular practice, you'll likely notice positive changes in both his focus and emotional balance.
