More than just Yoga, see the benefits of this exercise below 👇🏼
1. Improves Breath Control & Lung Capacity
Children learn to regulate the length, strength, and steadiness of their breath.
Helps strengthen respiratory muscles, which supports speech, singing, and stamina for physical activity.
2. Builds Focus & Concentration
The ball’s movement gives instant feedback—if their breath is too quick, too strong, or inconsistent, the ball wobbles or stops.
Children practice sustaining attention on a single task without distractions.
3. Encourages Emotional Regulation
Slow, mindful breathing helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress and calming the body.
Kids learn a fun coping tool they can use when feeling overwhelmed.
4. Enhances Mind-Body Awareness
Children become aware of how breathing feels in their body—in the chest, belly, and even the throat.
Builds the connection between internal sensations and external actions.
5. Supports Oral Motor Skills
Controlled blowing strengthens mouth, lips, and tongue muscles, which are important for speech clarity and swallowing.
6. Promotes Patience & Persistence
The challenge requires trying different approaches, adjusting breath speed, and staying calm when it doesn’t work the first time.
7. Fun & Engaging for All Abilities
It’s inclusive—children with different physical or cognitive abilities can still take part.
Success feels achievable, boosting confidence.
