The Best Yoga Poses for Growing Kids

It is no secret that kids need yoga now more than ever.  In our technology and screen-focused world, yoga provides many benefits that kids might have difficulty receiving elsewhere. Physically, yoga enhances flexibility, strength, coordination, and body awareness. Mentally, it improves the sense of calmness, concentration, and relaxation.Introducing children to yoga at an early age can help them learn healthy lifestyle habits and set the foundation for a fit future.

The following three yoga poses were selected for their physical and mental health benefits in young growing bodies. These poses are also wonderful for getting kids fit, flexible, and focused. Keep in mind that these are also adult yoga poses, so some of them may already be familiar to you. This is all the more reason to do them together with your children! You do not need to have a lot of space to practice these poses, and they only take minutes a day to generate results.

Snowball Winter Kids Yoga Lesson Plan

 

Children love this Snow Much Fun kids yoga lesson plan. All you need is some names of yoga poses and some plush white balls. I found these balls on Amazon.

I used a present box to put the snowballs in. It creates a lot more anticipation when the kids take turns drawing the pose (snowball) out of a box or bag. I like to select just 4-6 yoga poses for the children to learn and practice for each yoga class.

After one pose is drawn such as Tree Pose then all of the children practice that pose before drawing out a new pose.

I model the poses myself or use the Kids Yoga Challenge Pose Cards or the Kids Yoga Challenge App to help demonstrate the pose.

After all of the snowballs have been selected, then it is time to play some yoga games or practice balancing. Have the children try to balance the snowball on their head, hand, shoulder, etc.

Kids have so much fun with this and I am sure you will too!

See more snowballs and kids yoga fun here and in action at Athleta.
