Mountains, tumbling into headstands, suddenly converting into speeding cycles. Bridges collapsing into roaring lions, cocooned caterpillars turning into beautiful butterfly. These amazing pictures are nothing but scenes from any normal household. Watch a child and you will know! The natural postures of a child are yoga asanas. It is what the body is capable of – simple regular yoga asanas, and they are part of a child’s body language from the minute s/he is born.

An infant instinctively does most of the yoga mudras (hand postures maintained during meditation). If you observe a sleeping child, its thumb and the index finger slightly touch, to form the ‘Chinmudra.' Have you seen a six-month- old baby lying on its back with its legs up? It kicks its legs and sometimes pushes his/ her head up, practicing abdominal exercises without any expensive machine to help.

Bhujangasana or cobra posture is their favorite, and when they are six months, they get into the pose without any prompting. Yoga comes to us naturally from birth, but in the rigmarole of life, we lose both our physical and mental flexibility. Judgments and opinions cloud our mind, creating a mixture of impressions.We forget to observe, perceive the finer things we have a natural affinity.
