Abstract
Yoga was established and practiced in India and has a very long tradition. It might seems that there are no differences between yoga for adults and for children.
But children are different from adults. A significant difference lies in the way how is yoga mediated to children.
The observation and imitation of the outside world is one of the parts of the child's being. That is why it is recommended to let children practice their yoga ideas and try to invent other positions.
Children are very close to yoga in the sense that they do not "practice" yoga - they are yoga.
