Angela Wilson, a writer, researcher, and teacher of the science of yoga states this about how yoga assists in self-regulation: “Yoga provides both “top-down” tools (that is, tools that impact the mind) as well as “bottom-up tools” (tools that impact the body), and it is this synergistic effect, unique to yoga, which creates the most impact.” (Yoga as a Tool for Self-Regulation; kripalu.org) Mindfulness, Self Regulation, Top Down, The Science, The Mind, Benefits

The physical benefits of a yoga practice are obvious and well-known: strength, balance, flexibility, coordination, stamina, and on and on. This is true for children and adults. But there’s more to a full yoga practice than simply physical postures. And the benefits of the non-physical portions of a complete yoga practice are numerous as well, especially for mental health.

Many preschools and other specialized schools, particularly Montessori schools, utilize meaningful play because of this very reason. There are 5 key points that make “play” constitute “meaningful play”: Montessori, Elon University, Montessori School, Learning Through Play, The 20th Century, 20th Century, Growing Up
