Yoga consists of bodily postures or poses called asanas, breathing practices called pranayama, and meditation sections that provide focus. Children's yoga aims to teach pre-school (3-6 years) and school (7-12 years) children to breathe correctly, to practice yoga postures using their imaginations, to preserve their existing body flexibility and to teach correct posture. It consists of compositions such as postures, breathing exercises, imitations of living things in nature, memory games. They also relax with the pranayama breathing exercises done during the session. It aims to develop children's creativity through relaxation exercises, moving poses and stories told. Children's yoga also serves an artistic aspect with activities such as listening to music, singing, rhythm games, and drawing.
