Dragon and Monkey are great for prepping for the splits (they like to know that fact!). I often add in trickier poses like Boat and Bridge when I know that they are ready for it. Lower your butt an inch above the mat, and squeeze your left butt cheek. There is some repetition in there and switching sides. Pretend you're squeezing a block in between your thighs to create resistance, but keep the thighs inner-hip-distance apart. Here’s an example of a yoga sequence I do with my students every day: I include most of the poses in a traditional Sun Salutation B, and then I add more according to their age, abilities, and attention. It’s super fun and they always feel so proud! So what poses can you use in a yoga flow sequence for kids? Once we get really good at the Flow as a whole class, I start to let other kids lead too.
Halloween is just around the corner That means it’s time to get into the spooky spirit of the holiday. I add in some balance poses, some trickier poses that need explaining, and I often give kids a chance to add in what they would like to do as well. This Halloween, mix it up with these fun and funky yoga poses. We move fast, breathing the whole time, and then we start to slow down. When I teach kids using a Yoga Flow, I go through the whole sequence a couple of times pretty quickly. I have since fined tuned the yoga sequence and practice quite a bit, but I am super happy with how it has evolved, and also stayed quite the same over time. That’s what got me moving when I was having trouble staying focused, I figured I’d try it out with my students. Finally, I realized I needed to create that same sense of rhythm, flow, and movement of energy that I loved in my yoga classes. When I started teaching kids yoga in a charter school 5 years ago I had the hardest time getting kids to stop talking, stop wandering, stop worrying and feeling anxious, and just start moving.
#FUN YOGA SEQUENCE SERIES#
When I do vinyasa yoga as an adult attending class, I notice that I think less about things that are worrying me, and focus more on my movement and breath. Yin yoga is a sequenced series of long and floor poses mainly focusing on the connectives tissues of the lower body and back. A Yoga Flow is sometimes referred to as a vinyasa style of yoga (vinyasa means flow in Sanskrit).
