Parents also serve as models for their children s postural and movement habits.
We sometimes forget that children imitate not only wha t their parents do, but also how they do it. Parents can stand and walk and sit in ways that promote proper biomechanics. Then, when these children become adults, they already have a leg up on Yoga practice. Different people have different views as to how early on in life children should receive Yoga instruction. Traditionally in India, some children learn about Yoga while they are still toddlers, although regular instruction does not begin until the child is age 8.
