Children naturally love to do Bhakti yoga that is so easily incorporated into children’s yoga. They express devotion in a simple and natural way, free of the ego. The purpose of this yoga is to merge with Divine Love, internally and externally.
Bhakti yoga uses deities such as Shiva, Vishnu or masters such as Krishna or Buddha or the image of a teacher who represents divine Love and inspiration. Some of the devotional practices include Kirtan – mantras and Japa – devotional songs. Children respond naturally to new songs, chants and rituals and learn new words and absorb the benefit of the mantra quickly.
