“Yoga helps even little ones channel energy, emotion”<\/strong><\/p>\n

CNN<\/em>: Decatur, Georgia (CNN)<\/strong> — Gigi reaches up into her sun salutation. She steps back into her high lunge and kicks her legs straight into plank pose, a push-up she holds without wobbling for 10 seconds before looking up impatiently at her yoga teacher.<\/p>\n

It’s close to 6 p.m. She’s had a long day.<\/p>\n

She collapses on her mat, rolls on her back and closes her eyes. And then sends one finger digging up her nose.<\/p>\n

What? C’mon, she’s only 5.<\/p>\n

This is yoga for kids. Once an oddity reserved for only the crunchiest communities, downward dog for the grade-school set is now being taught in studios from Minnetonka, Minnesota, to Moscow, Russia. And educators, including Chicago’s Namaste School, which serves mostly poor kids who speak a language other than English, are turning to yoga<\/a> to connect with a generation that many say has been dismissed as deficit this or hyperactive that.<\/p>\n

At Decatur Yoga and Pilates studio, just outside Atlanta, Georgia, Dylan Laakmann, sits quietly next to his mother. The lanky 12-year-old whose fashionably shorn hair hangs in his face, describes himself as a “downer” before he started taking yoga two years ago.<\/p>\n

“I wasn’t really that happy a kid, I guess, and my grades, they weren’t that good,” he says, his taut mouth easing as he relaxes in conversation. “I wasn’t that joyful.”<\/p>\n
