Growing Self-Esteem through Yoga

$10.00 $0.00

Yoga will help you grow emotional intelligence and intuition, because yoga teaches you about yourself.

Yoga is an extension of life’s moments. During yoga all virtues can be acknowledged, for each posture calls a child to a virtue, and virtues grow emotional intelligence.

Children have a natural ability to love and accept themselves; all you need to do is allow them to grow what is already there.

Parents can teach emotional intelligence through role modelling, and positive acknowledgment.
