Putting more pressure on kids to do well in school has caused them to feel a lot of unnecessary stress, and a dangerously high number of kids have depression, panic attacks, or suicidal thoughts. Yoga experts think that parents can help their kids deal with the stress of all these tasks and tests by using Yoga as a “divine instrument.”
Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar, the founder of Akshar Yoga Institutions, Himalaya Yoga Ashrama, and the World Yoga Organization, said in an interview with HT Lifestyle, “Children of all ages can benefit from yoga’s help for their overall health and development on all levels. Memory, focus, and concentration may all get a lot better in school, making students more productive and ready to lead in the future. He recommended the 7 best yoga poses for dealing with exam stress:
1. Kakasana (Crow pose)
Method: Begin with Samasthithi. Place palms flat. Lean forward so your body weight shifts to your arms. Find balance and lift your feet up.
2. Padmasana
Method: Fold your left knee and put it on top of the right thigh. Similarly do the same thing for your right knee by placing it on top of your left thigh.
3. Padahasthasana
Method: From a standing position inhale and raise your hands all the way up. Hold your breath for a second or two before you exhale and bend forward at the same time. Your hands should touch your feet and try not to bend your knees while doing this asana
4. Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bending)
Method: Start with Dandasana. As you inhale, empty your stomach of air. As you exhale, bend forward at the hips and place your upper body on your lower body. As you exhale, lower your arms and grip your big toes with your fingers. As you try to touch your knees with your nose. As you hold the pose for a while.

5. Sirshasana (Headstand Pose)
Method: Vajrasana is the starting position. Your elbows should be on the ground. Your palms and elbows should form an equilateral triangle. Your crown of your head should be on the floor in front of your palms. Your palms should support the back of your head. You should then walk on your toes towards your head until your back is straight. First, raise your right leg and position it in front of your upper torso. Join your legs and point your toes downward while using your core power to balance and pull your left leg up. As long as it’s comfortable, continue to hold the position.
