Balasana
Also known as the Child’s pose, this yogasana is perfect for any child above five years. You can ask your Child to practice this posture as a warm-up, calm their frantic brains and collect and focus their thoughts. Start by kneeling and sitting down comfortably with the front side of your calves and feet on the ground. Next, lean forward until your head touches the ground and stretch out your arms. Finally, take a deep breath, hold and release. Stay in this position for 2-3 minutes and focus on even breathing.
Bhujangasana
A problem that almost every kid has to go through is indigestion. Practising bhujangasana or the cobra pose regularly will improve their digestive function, enhance spinal flexibility and at the same time build their immunity and speed up their metabolism. Lie down flat on your stomach and keep your body relaxed. Keep your palms flat on the floor in line without your chest. Take a deep breath and lift your head by straightening your hands. Your navel should not be off the floor. Exhale while coming back to the starting pose.
Vrikshasana
Tree pose is a good way of teaching your kid the basics of balance. This posture improves posture, increases spinal and leg strength, opens up the pelvic muscles, and trains the core muscles. Stand erect with your hands on the side. Sift your weight on one foot and bring the other up to your thigh, pointing your knees towards the side. Stretch your hands above and join your palms. Keep your neck and head straight by focusing on a point at eye level, balance for a few minutes while breathing deeply, and release and repeat with the other leg. Read More...
