I found this article online while I was looking up yoga poses for children. I read alot about this author and her website and I am very impressed. I ordered her ABC yoga for kids book online for my son and I to be doing together.

My son and I did these poses together over the weekend and he really liked them. They were very calming and most of the poses he was able to do easily.

P is for Pretzel pose

E is for Easy pose

A is for Airplane pose

C is for Cobra pose

E is for Elephant pose

L is for Lion pose

O is for Oyster pose

V is for Volcano pose

E is for Eagle pose

J is for Jack-in-the-box pose

O is for Otter pose

Y is for Yoga pose

Last night we even did a couple poses before bed to relax. I had him hold each pose for 3 breathes so he could calm his body and practice counting. We did the poses in his bedroom with a dim light and our essential oils diffuser running. It was really relaxing. 🙂
