Yoga for Youth ... Yoga for Children ... Yoga for Kids
"The elastic heart of youth cannot be compressed into one
constrained shape long at a time."
- Mark Twain - The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Children ... Let us Begin
Begin by closing your eyes, and
taking a few deep "ahh" breaths (inhaling through the nose, exhaling
through the mouth saying the word "ahh"). Smile and now
start with a gentle sitting posture.
A
Gentle Sitting Pose
Sit with your legs crossed, "chris-cross apple sauced", and rest
your hands anywhere it is comfortable on your legs. Please listen to
the rhythm of your breath allowing it to sing to your inner body
sweet songs of peace. Try to be still.
Tree Pose
Start standing tall with both feet hip width. Invite you child to feel
like a tree, tall and deeply rooted. Ask them to rest one foot on
the inside of their opposite thigh. Kids love this pose! Hold this
position for a few seconds.
