Child Yoga

My little children always climb all over me as I try to practice yoga.  I have since figured out that I need to incorporate them more, so we both can be apart if it. I have tried to just do the poses I wanted to do and they would end up climbing on my back, interrupting the pose and me getting upset. 

I finally got with it and realized its not all about me....

There are a few main poses I do with my 3.5 year old and almost 2 year old.

Tree Pose-Vrikshasana

• Strengthens core and ligaments in legs and feet
• Improves balance and calms the mind
• Builds self esteem and confidence 
• Stretches the spine

Cobra Pose-Bhujangasana

• Decrease stress in the back
• provides flexibility in shoulders and neck
• Elevates mood
• Relives stress
• Improves circulation and improves digestion
• Invigorates the heart 

Frog Pose

• Helps with digestion
• Tones the legs and tummy
• Allows the lower back to release
• Promotes confidence and improves posture

Lotus Pose-Padmasana

• Calms the brain
• Restores energy levels
• Keeps joints and ligaments flexible
• Stimulates the bladder

Both of my children have responded very well and we all have a great time jumping around like frogs and then chilling out and trying to breathe and focus.

Give it a try! Remember, MAKE IT FUN FOR THEM!!!
-Sometimes it only lasts 2 minutes.
