Many adults across the country don their yoga clothing to take part in the discipline. However, it is not only grown men and women who can benefit from the activity, kids can too and this message was recently pushed as part of a health initiative in the north-west of England.

Children from a Liverpool school slipped into their yoga wear in order to take part in organised mass yoga sessions.

Last month, pupils from Kirkdale St Lawrence Primary were involved in a special Being Well and Staying Safe campaign that included a series of activities and was designed to show youngsters the importance of health and wellbeing.

As well as wearing yoga clothing and taking part in large-scale exercise sessions intended to help them de-stress and to improve their flexibility, the children also benefited from advice provided by a culinary expert. The so-called 'fun food chef' showed little ones how to cook healthy meals.

Meanwhile, there were also lessons focussing on the importance of healthy eating and the dangers of smoking and the topic of dental hygiene was covered as well.

Commenting on the initiative, ...
... organiser Jo Campbell said: "We wanted to hold this special week of activities because the area faces huge health challenges, and it's important we get our young people into good habits at an early age."

Meanwhile, councillor Jane Corbett remarked: "This week of special activities is an excellent idea and gets across the message that you're never too young to learn about being healthy. This type of activity is exactly the type of thing we want to see as part of our Decade of Health and Wellbeing."

Parents keen to invest in yoga wear for their children in a bid to encourage them to engage in healthy activities can search for items online. These days, there are many products to choose from.
