Y'all, home-bound kiddos need something fun and active to do, and I've found just the trick: animal yoga poses! This activity is perfect for rainy days or when you need to keep the kids quiet during a meeting. Ready to learn more?
Why Animal Yoga for the Kiddos?
According to the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) from 2017, around 8.4% of kids aged 4-17 years used yoga in the previous 12 months – a significant increase from 3.1% reported in 2012! Practicing yoga has numerous benefits, such as boosting the immune system, strengthening muscles, helping calm down, and so much more. But how do we get our little ones involved?
The secret: make it a game, like Animal Yoga! Think about it. Are you more likely to get your kid to try out a yoga pose if you propose the Cow Pose or tell them about Bitilasana (Sanskrit for Cow Pose)? Didn't think so!
Fun-tastic Animal Yoga Poses for Kids
Incorporating new movements is essential for a kid's healthy development, which is why turning yoga into a playful game like Animal Yoga is exhilarating. We've begun using these captivating animal yoga cards to spice up our yoga routines.
With a simple card flip, you and your kids will explore various animal yoga poses, including:
Horse Pose
Kids adore horses, making the Horse Pose an ideal pick for your little one's yoga routine. Help them stand with their feet slightly out, then bend their knees to stand like a majestic horse.
Turtle Pose
Kids love the Turtle Pose! Have them sit on their heels with their bended knees in front of them. Then guide them to lower their forehead to the mat and arch their back into the shell shape.
Bear Pose
To vanquish any lingering wiggles, try the Bear Pose. Have your kids lie on their backs, hug their knees to their chest, and rock back and forth!
Elephant Pose
The Elephant Pose is perfect for kids of any age. Instruct them to bend at the hips and sway their upper body side to side like a bear swings its paw.
Shark Pose
This is one of my favorite poses for kids because it's simple to learn and boosts their confidence in their yoga abilities. Have them lay face down on the ground, lift their chest while holding their hands together behind their backs to make a fin.
