Yoga for Kids

Introduction to
Yoga...

for Kids!!

   There are a lot of ways to ensure your little one is meeting their physical education criteria. The most important thing is to make it enjoyable and add some variety. I just finished 30 days of a crash course in Ashtanga Yoga. So I have been so excited to teach Scarlett everything I know and continue to learn together.

Here are a few poses that are great to start off with:

Childs Pose

Downward Facing Dog

Puppy Pose



Silly kitten wanted to play!

This was a very interesting workout, I got to learn how flexible Scarlett was and in some incidences not. Please be sure to assist your child and check in with them to make sure nothing is hurting. Yoga should be relaxing but challenging but never ever hurt. Remind your child that their muscles will feel stretched but never pinched. Scarlett's hamstring were pretty tight and it was hard for her to keep her elbows in instead of forcing them out. Have patience and be supportive!!

One of our obsessions is...MUSHROOMS! They are simply fascinating. We have done a lot of research to identify the different types we spot on our nature walks. Here you go...

First Day of School Nature Walk Scarlett was so excited, she has been waiting for this day a very long time! She had her little brother Gabriel (left) and her younger cousin Ramon there to support her Day 1 Our "Theme" for her first day was Nature, she was also going to be in for a surprise later on in the night! We started our morning with setting our crystal grid up for protection since we were amongst the Sturgeon Moon and for clarity during meditation time! We took our adventure to Swatek Park, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Its our neighborhood park filled with great wildlife. Hunting for Mushrooms: Mushrooms outside our apartment!
