Kid/Parent Yoga Interview on Patch.Com-by Crystal Tai
Slow and concentrated stretching may not sound like the perfect fit for active toddlers, but in Cupertino one yoga instructor found it can be a meaningful bonding experience between mother and child.
In Hsiang-Hsiu Lin's parenting yoga class, three-year-old children follow her instructions to do all kinds of yoga moves along with, and sometimes on top of their mothers.
"Parenting yoga has become a trend in England, Japan and Taiwan in the past five or six years," says Lin, a certified Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga teacher living in Cupertino. "I'm bringing it here because it's a great body and mind exercise that can enhance the bond between mother and child."
Lin explains that the body contact parenting yoga entails will make the child feel a sense of security as well as closeness to the mom. It also helps young children with their coordination and balance right at the time they become aware of what they can do with their bodies.
