“Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.”
James Baldwin
Lots of parents want to spend as much time with their kids. Yet simple chores at home can be a pretty good time of connecting. If you are a parent who wants to up bring your children as active as possible, then you might want to start teaching your children about how to have a productive and fun work out. One perfect way of keeping children healthy is to do yoga together. Not only does yoga keep them healthy and ready for later in life, but it also helps them to remain focused, to be diligent, to relieve stress, and so forth.
Firstly find a private space and it is necessary to hold the posture for 3 to 4 breaths. Before you do yoga do not consume excessively, as you will stretch your muscles. And what is more important is to have a fun time together! Here are 12 postures that you can teach and do with your children:
1. Pretzel:
Stand straight in a cross-legged posture. Extend out one arm around your body and put it on your hip. Extend out your other hand then breathe deeply in. Perform it three to four times slowly and simultaneously breathe in and out.
2. Easy pose:
In a cross-legged posture, sit straight up. Place your hands comfortably on your knees with palms facing up. Breathe deeply in and out to relax your body.
3. Airplane:
Lay flat on your stomach. Have your chest arms and legs lifted up. Breathe deeply until you let go.
4. Cobra:
Lay straight and flat on your tummy with your elbows slightly bent. Lift your hands and chest steadily, so that your elbows are beneath your chest and your legs are straight behind.
5. Elephant:
Stand upright and then lean forward. Interlace the hands and wave them back and forth like the trunk of an elephant.
6. Jack in the box:
Sit up straight; bring your knees close to your chest. Wrap your arms across your knees and aim your forehead to your knees and breathe out. Raising your chin, breathe in. Do that as much as you would like.
7. Otter:
Lay down on your belly keeping the hands in front of you. Push your chest slowly by keeping your chin up and straightening your arms.
8. Yoga:
Stand straight on the floor with your foot down. Lift your arms gradually above your head extending out your body to a Y-shape. Remain in that posture and breathe deeply.
9. Lion:
Kneel down on your shins with your thighs to your chest. Inhale and relax. And leap up to your body and roar like a lion.
10. Oyster:
Sit straight with the bottoms of your feet aligned. Slide your arms under your knees and touch the ground using your elbows. Slowly breathe in and out, until you touch your forehead to your feet.
11. Volcano:
Stand straight up with your feet slightly away from each other. Put your hands in a position of praying. Push your hands to the sky and inhale. Breathe out and shift your hands sideways and bring them back to center in a praying position.
12. Eagle:
Stand up straight. Bend your knees slightly. Keep the right leg across the left one. Try crossing your left hand over your right arm. Breathe three or four times in and out and then switch to the other side.
