Are you looking for a fun and engaging way to practice yoga with your tiny humans? Boat pose is a great place to start! This pose not only strengthens the core and legs, but also encourages teamwork and connection. Here's how to do it with your little ones:
-
Find a comfortable seated position facing each other with your knees bent and feet touching.
-
Reach out and hold hands with your partner.
-
Keeping your feet touching, slowly lift them up off the ground while leaning back slightly. Try to straighten your legs and hold the pose for a few breaths.
-
Make it fun by swaying back and forth like a boat, singing "row row your boat", and pretending to be waves.
-
Remember to breathe deeply and stay present in the moment.
Partner yoga is a great way to bond with your child and teach them the importance of teamwork and trust. So grab a partner and sail away with boat pose!
Boat is included in Metta Play bilingual ygoa card pack here or print-at-home available here
