That is great to have an 11 year old teaching yoga. She sounds a lot more confident than most 11 year olds. Maybe someday they will do a study and find that kids who do yoga, mature much, much faster. Maybe yoga increases or boosts intelligence also.
I was reading about a woman that was working with kids with autism for years who found that yoga does wonders for them. Since this girl can get high from doing yoga, there is a lot less chance of her doing drugs. I know since I was doing yoga since age 12 and never got into taking drugs or drinking alcohol.
In India, there was an 8 year old boy, Prem Rawat, teaching meditation. In his 50s now, he is still teaching meditation.
