Kids Yoga


  Everyday before quiet time we do yoga.  Here is Samuel doing Baddha Konasana (butterfuly pose).  This posture is a hip opener and increases circulation to the pelvic organs.  You would be surprised at what a young age children start holding tension in their body.  Children are so receptive to yoga and love it.  A children`s class is taught differently than an adults class.  We use our imagination, songs and stories to move through the asanas (postures).  Her in butterfly we are singing a cute song. The lyrics go as such:

Fly like a butterfly
Fly like a butterfly
Fly like a butterfly in the sky

Sleep like a butte fly
Sleep like a butterfly
Sleep like a butterfly in the sky. 

Stretch like a butterfly
 Stretch like a butterfly
 Stretch like a butterfly in the sky


To learn the movements and tune of the song watch the video below.  Enjoy and have fun using yoga with your kids.
