Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy to require our children to learn Yoga and meditation to ensure to reap the benefits. Yoga seems to improve both physical and mental health among children aged 6 through 12. Yoga improves balance, strength, endurance aerobic capacity in children. 
Yoga is not just for adults! In fact, it can give children very important life skills that can help them succeed in the world.
Sri Samrat Dutt, the Board of the Director of Global Hindu Heritage Foundation, and also the coordinator of activities in Assam organizes Yoga and Meditation to Bala Samskar students every week. Many parents and other interested people also join the Yoga class. 
 In a pilot study, Butzer et al. (2015) found that ten weeks of yoga intervention on children aged between 7-9 years old showed statistically significant cortisol concentration changes, social interaction, attention span, stress coping, confidence, time on task, academic performance, and improved mood. Kim et al. (2016) study found that the practice of a 12-week school-based yoga project showed positive body image in children through controlled breathing, meditation, and calming the mind. However, some educators in their study raised concerns about the lack of confidence in teaching yoga to students. They do not know how to instruct or lead yoga sessions or do not have the time because of tight curriculum schedules, 
Arizona Early Childhood Network conducted research and listed the following benefits. Here is a more detailed explanation of how teaching yoga to kids and using yoga in the classroom can have a positive impact on children’s well-being:
1.    Yoga helps children manage their anxiety. The breathing exercises and relaxation techniques learned from practicing yoga can help children with stress management. Teaching children how to reduce stress in a healthy way is an important life skill that will help them as children and as adults.
2.    Yoga improves children’s emotional regulation. Another benefit of yoga for children is that it helps children learn to be in the present moment while relaxing and gaining a peaceful state of mind, which ultimately improves their emotional regulation.
3.    Yoga boosts children’s self-esteem. Yoga for kids can do wonders for their self-esteem. Perfecting a pose or improving their balance and flexibility can give young children a sense of personal empowerment.
4.    Yoga increases children’s body awareness and mindfulness. Going through a variety of yoga poses helps children learn about their bodies and the movements they’re capable of doing.
5.    Yoga enhances children’s concentration and memory. One of the top benefits of kids’ yoga is that the different types of moves require children to focus and work on their memorization skills—both of which can translate over into their academic performance.
6.    Yoga develops children’s strength and flexibility. Yoga helps strengthen children’s growing bodies and helps them improve their flexibility, which can reduce their chance of injury.
7.    Yoga teaches discipline and reduces impulsivity. Yoga can reduce challenging behaviors in the classroom by providing a physical outlet for children to express themselves. It also teaches children about discipline as they work on clearing their minds and perfecting their poses. (Source: AZearlychildhood network)
Yoga Journal says that Our children live in a hurry-up world of busy parents, school pressures, incessant lessons, video games, malls, and competitive sports. We usually don’t think of these influences as stressful for our kids, but often they are. The bustling pace of our children’s lives can have a profound effect on their innate joy—and usually not for the better. The greatest challenge with children is to hold their attention long enough to teach them the benefits of yoga: stillness, balance, flexibility, focus, peace, grace, connection, health, and well-being.
