🌟 Yoga Adventures for Kids
Introduction
Yoga is a gentle game that moves the body, calms the mind, and makes you feel happy. You can do it at home, in the park, or even in your classroom!
1. What Is Yoga?
Yoga is a set of slow moves and fun breaths.
- Move Like A Cat – stretch your back and paws.
- Breathe Like A Balloon – fill your belly with air, then let it go.
It helps you stay strong, just like warming up before a race.
2. Easy Pose: The Tree 🌳
- Stand tall with your feet together.
- Lift one foot and place it on the inside of the opposite leg (like a tree root).
- Bring your hands together above your head, like branches.
- Hold and breathe.
Feel the wind in your “leaves.” If you wobble, that’s okay—trees sway in the breeze too!
3. Playful Breath: The Dragon’s Breath
- Sit cross‑cross and put your hands on your tummy.
- Inhale slowly through your nose, feeling your tummy rise like a dragon’s belly.
- Exhale gently through your mouth, making a soft “whoosh” sound.
This breath helps you calm down when you feel angry or scared.
4. Yoga Like a Superhero
Imagine you are a superhero getting ready for a big mission.
- Super Stretch – reach up high like you’re grabbing the clouds.
- Power Pose – stand with feet apart, hands on hips, and say “I am strong!”
These moves give you confidence and make your muscles happy.
