I think we are doing something right.
Today, my 4 year old got on a 2-wheel bike and just rode it! No help from parents. He has a bike with training wheels, but it's a little to big for him to learn his balance. He tried a neighbor's small bike to get his balance, then tried an even smaller bike and rode it.
He has good natural balance and we have offered him opportunities to learn this at a young age. He learned to ski this past winter, he's been swimming regularly at preschool, and we do a lot of physical activities with him. I even do yoga with him, and sometimes HE comes to ME to do yoga with him. It's a game to him, but it still gets me off my butt and into poses with him. I can even tell him a few poses and he does them on his own.

- My first experience of yoga was a physical ed credit in college. I also have been active in taekwondo, skiing, snowboarding and soccer. A knee injury return my interest to yoga, and I was amazed at how good I felt after the classes--so much energy! My ability in other sports increased mentally and physically, I think injuries were prevented by my flexibility and strength from doing yoga. I found that my preferred form of yoga is Ashtanga. I continued yoga through two pregnancies and eventually received my certificate to teach yoga from Yoga Vermont. I now teach classes regularly at The Edge and within my community.
