Yoga for Youth ... Yoga for Children ... Yoga for Kids
"How far you go depends on your being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged,
sympathetic and tolerant of the weak and strong.
Because someday in life you will have been all of these."
- George
Washington Carver
Downward Dog
Start on all fours, with your knees aligned under your hips and your
hands flat on the floor underneath your shoulders. Inhale deeply. As
you exhale, press your hips up and away from your hands. At the same
time press your heels down. Stretch your back and the back of your
legs like a dog.
Cobra Pose
Lie on
your jelly belly and put your hands slightly in front of your
shoulders. Reaching your legs back, reach your chest foward and away
from the floor. As you exhale, let our your "great hiss" for the
world to hear. Hold this position for a few seconds. Repeat 3 times.
Childs Pose
Child's pose can instill
a sense of tranquility
in youthful yoga practitioners and assist the wandering mind to be
quiet. Come to your hands and knees and lower your bum to your heels
resting your fore head on the floor.
