Learn how caterpillars transform into butterflies while practicing a mini yoga flow!
Walking back and forth in Downward Facing Dog as a little caterpillar builds strength in the arms and core. Hanging loose in Forward Fold decompresses the spine and sends oxygenated blood back to our brains. Balancing on one foot in Warrior 3 is a developmental milestone for young children and builds tremendous focus and strength, as well as self-confidence. And finally, connecting our movements with our breath is calming and focusing for our central nervous system.

Ostrich (Humble Warrior Pose)
In Ostrich, kids can learn Humble Warrior Pose, a yoga pose that grounds us, builds strength in our legs and core, lengthens our intercostal muscles, and ultimately releases our spine. This is a great way to build focus and calm with a very physically active pose!

I'm a Dinosaur (Chair Pose)
Sit low, reach high and roar - we're making dinosaurs! See how long you can stay in Chair Pose strengthening legs and core while we turn into all kinds of dinosaurs...Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, Pterodactyl, and Velociraptor; there are so many!
-
Eagle (Eagle Pose)
Kids can follow along to practice the challenging Eagle Pose! Eagle Pose teaches us balance and engages our core muscles. Balance, in turn, strengthens our sense of proprioception, or where our bodies are in space.
