Doen yoga saam jou tuin-kabouters! Ja regtig!

Spesiaal vir almal jonger as 18 en dié wat húlle fiks en besig moet hou!

"To get started, clear a space so the children can move around safely, without bumping into any obstacles. Have your little gardeners wear comfy clothes perfect for gardening. They could practice on a yoga mat—or on a towel if you’re on a non-slip surface—pretending the mat is their garden. Explain that you’re going on a pretend walk through the garden and remind them to bring their creativity and imaginations! Follow along with the five garden yoga poses below. Don’t worry about practicing the perfect yoga postures. Just give it a go and have fun!

Garden Yoga Poses for Kids

These five yoga poses have been sequenced to flow from one pose to the next:

Pretend to be a tree
To do Tree Pose:
 Stand on one leg. Bend the knee of the leg you are not standing on, place the sole of your foot on the opposite inner thigh or calf, and balance. Sway like a tree in the breeze. Switch sides and repeat the steps.

Pretend to be a frog
To do Squat Pose:
 Come down to a squat with your knees apart and your arms resting between your knees. Touch your hands to the ground. Jump up like a frog and then return to a squat position.

Pretend to be a seed
To do Child’s Pose:
 Sit back on your heels, slowly bring your forehead down to rest on the floor in front of your knees, rest your arms down alongside your body, and take a few deep breaths. Pretend to be a seed in the garden.

Pretend to be a butterfly
To do Cobbler’s Pose:
 Gently come up and sit on your buttocks with a tall spine. Bend your legs, place the soles of your feet together, and gently flap your legs like the wings of a butterfly.

Pretend to be a flower
To do Flower Pose:
 From Cobbler’s Pose, lift your bent legs, balance on your sitting bones, and weave your arms under your legs with your palms facing up. Pretend to be a blossoming flower.

Finish your garden yoga experience by lying on your back with your arms and legs spread out in a Resting Pose. Close your eyes (if that’s comfortable) and take a few deep breaths. Think about what you love about gardens and maybe imagine a rainbow arching across the sky above you.
