作为国际少儿瑜伽协会的会长，乌兰老师相信练习瑜伽和冥想的孩子和青少年在日常生活中更有能力应对压力和焦虑。在当今世界，所有的电脑、手机和即时图片都可能成为压力的主要原因。在冥想时，闭上你的眼睛，只听。他们进入了一个小世界。它完全可以缓解焦虑。

As the president of the International Children's Yoga Association, Ulan believes that kids and teens who practice yoga and meditation will be better equipped to handle stress and anxiety in their daily lives. In today’s world, all the computers, phones and instant pictures can be a major cause of stress. During meditation.Close your eyes, just listen. They get into a little zone. It definitely eases anxiety.

她说：瑜伽还有助于发展我们正在逐渐消失的听觉技能，因为现在的一切都是视觉的。

She says，yoga also helps develop auditory skills, which are being lost, because everything is visual nowadays.

越来越多的研究发现，冥想可以对年轻人产生持久的益处，从美国国家科学院学报等科学期刊到同行评议的研究。他们展示了练习正念，或者通过冥想意识到自己现在的状态，都有助于改善大脑的发育和行为，同时增加一个人的“自我意识和自我调节”能力。

More and more studies have found evidence that meditation can have lasting benefits on young people, from scientific journals like the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences to peer-reviewed studies. They show that practicing mindfulness, or being conscious of one’s present state of being through meditation, helps improve brain development and behavior while increasing one’s “self-awareness and self-regulation.”

对于那些有自尊心、自我控制或注意力问题的患者，乌兰会长推荐瑜伽：因为它让精神与身体连接。

For patients who have issues with self-esteem, self-control or attention, Ulan recommends yoga because of its mind/body connection.

对于那些在自我控制问题上挣扎的孩子来说，这真的很好，而且他们也不适合参加团队运动。乌兰会长对我们说：“每个人都能做瑜伽。你不必打篮球，也不必跑得快;一切都发生在你的瑜伽垫上，没有人会看低你。这是一种接纳。你需要休息，然后可以回去做家庭作业，让你可以更清晰的学习，减少焦虑，更加专注。”

It’s really good for kids who struggle with self-control issues and who may not be cut out for team sports. She tells us：“Everybody can do yoga. You don’t have to shoot the basketball well or run fast; everything happens on your mat. Nobody puts you down. It's accepting. You take that time-out and then can go back to your homework or to school with a clearer mind, less anxiety and more focus.”

瑜伽也能促进家庭关系，因为每个人都可以一起做。

Yoga also promotes bonding as a family, since everybody can do it together.

现在很多家庭都很少花时间聚在一起，应该要花上一个小时或一个半小时的时间，做一些身体上和精神上都健康的事情。

A lot of families these days don’t spend a whole lot of time together, so to take an hour or hour and a half and do something that’s physically and mentally healthy together is great.

当地医院和门诊设施也将瑜伽融入到他们的健康制度中。他们认为在早期开始瑜伽的人最大的好处是自信。

Local hospitals and outpatient facilities are also incorporating yoga into their wellness regimes. The biggest benefit they sees in those who start yoga at an early age is more self-confidence.

并不是所有的孩子都擅长运动，但是有了瑜伽，你可以按照自己的节奏去做，并且成功突破自己。

Not all kids are good at sports, but with yoga you can go at your own pace and be successful individually.

从生理、心理和社会的角度来看，儿童、青春期前和青少年的范式是瑜伽成为减轻压力的一种预防措施。

The paradigm that exists for young children, preteens and teens, from a physical, mental and social perspective, is that yoga becomes a prevention measure for stress reduction.

去年7月发表在《生物精神病学》上的一项研究显示，冥想的人的大脑发生了物理变化。在那些练习冥想的人当中，大脑中负责记忆、规划、组织、调节和控制的大脑背外侧前额叶皮层在脑部扫描过程中显示出了增加的活动，并与负责应对压力的大脑的其他部分进行了更多的交流。

A study published last July in Biological Psychiatry showed physical changes in the brain in people who practiced meditation. Among those who practiced meditation, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for memory, planning, organization, regulation and control, showed increased activity during brain scans, and more communication with other parts of the brain responsible for reactions to stress.

瑜伽有助于他们具有活力又保持稳重，并帮助他们理解身体如何适当的运用。这是非常重要的，因为瑜伽让他们走上健康、有活力的长寿之路。

Yoga helps them gain flexibility and stability and helps them understand the way the body should feel when it’s in proper alignment. It’s so important because it sets them on the path for longevity, of having flexibility and stability in the long term.
