Hi Sabrina my son is 5 yrs old. He is very impatient and restless. Even during his school prayers, he keeps his eyes open and doesn't like meditate. How can yoga help him? What kind of asanas can I introduce him to?

Ans: Hi Divya,
It’s absolutely normal for a 5 year old to get easily distracted. However it’s never too early to introduce yoga to your child, which in the long run will help him stay calm and focused. You may want to start with a few minutes of meditation with him. All you need to do is set a routine. Start with sitting in silence for 1 min where u and him sit together in a room with eyes closed, no talking and if possible not moving. Slowly you can then increase the duration to 1.5 mins and then to 2 min. How ever reminder not to be too hard on him. Let him enjoy doing this with you. You may also play some light meditation music if he enjoys that. This will help both of you calm down.

Can my 2-year old nephew learn yoga? What asanas or exercises would you recommend?

Ans: Its never too early to start yoga. For kids under 3 years, most learning happens by watching and observing their parents. The first step that every parent needs to take is to start their own yoga practice. Children will watch and learn automatically. Some poses that toddlers can practise along wit their parents are:
1. Happy Baby Pose/ Anand Balasana
2. Downward Dog Pose/Adho Mukha Svanasana
3. Child Pose/ Balasana
4. Frog Pose/Malasana
5. Cobra pose/ Bhujangasana

Sabrina, my son has concentration issues. He is not able to focus on one thing be it at school or at home. He is very restless and short tempered. Can this be improved with yoga? Please suggest. He is 8 years old now

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.

Feel free to reach out if you’d like more details or a specific plan for him!

Warmly,
Sabrina

hello mam, my son is four year old. Extremely energetic. My doctor say we need to utilize his energy in sports. I want he should learn Yoga for same so by what age I can start his training.

Ans: 4 years is the perfect age to introduce yoga to your child. You can start with basic poses/asanas and more importantly you can also introduce some breath work and mediation to help him calm down. Some poses to help him focus are the Vrishasana (Tree Pose) , Padmasana (Lotus Pose) and Garudasana (Eagle pose). Sitting in silence together for 5 mins daily can also be a great way to help him focus and calm down.

My son is not paying attention to studies. In the first term he scored well over 95% but post Diwali, his teachers are complaining that his grades have dropped. He is restless and refuses to write or study. Ditto with his sports and football. I spoke to him, he is very distracted and just wants to play. I want to improve his focus. Can yoga help?

Ans: Yes, absolutely! Yoga can definitely help improve focus and attention span in kids. A simple practice of equal breathing (inhaling and exhaling for the same count) for just 5 minutes daily can do wonders in enhancing concentration. Additionally, taking time to sit in silence and meditate helps calm the mind, making it easier for kids to stay present and focused. Consistency is key, and these small practices can have a big impact over time!

Relationship

Hi I am 34 year old male and want to settle down but also in doubt that the marriage will take my independence. I started looking for bride with arrange marriage option. I am taking to a girl for last 3-4 months 2 time a week. I never had any serious relationship before and don't know what exactly to lookout in marriage. The girl I am seeing has average looks and physique but she okay with conversation and little shy and majority of the conversation I have only started. Her weight or BMI is very low around 19 and my BMI is overweight above 26. There is different in 45-50 kgs in weight. Am I working too much about physical appearance and should I interact with other prospects also. I have meet with her family along with my parent two times and little worried that more meeting will led to frustration if marriage didn't materialize. I have also left my current job and taking some break before joining new one. Will this career break will impact my marriage prospects. Also sometimes I feel that I may have set my standards very high as I am well educated from good institute and I can explore many options before choosing one. Is this leading me to non commitment as I may find some fault to not commit to marriage.

Ans: too many questions...in summary - education and being in a relationship are 2 different things - for a detailed conversation you may google me and schedule an interaction to discuss.
