10 Incredible Spring Yoga Ideas for Kids

IDEA 1: YOGA WITH THE LETTERS

The Yoga Alphabet is our favorite since it is suitable for children of all ages. Those who are learning the alphabet can undertake yoga positions to help them recognize the letters and the sounds they produce.

IDEA #2: A YOGA-THEMED ANIMAL

Children like animals, so they will enjoy practicing yoga positions that are based on their favorites. One animal a day might be the focus of a week-long camp, or you can vary it up by kind or place, such as Animals of the Arctic, Animals of Africa, or Zoo animals.

IDEA #3: USE THE BREATHING BALL WHILE PRACTISING YOGA.

A fantastic tool for teaching children respiratory control is the breathing ball. Yoga includes breathing techniques, which may be quite relaxing for toddlers (and adults!).

IDEA #4: PROP-ASSISTED YOGA POSES

In addition to being entertaining, using support in yoga positions helps keep youngsters interested for extended periods. Yoga balls that can be rolled or passed provide excellent props to utilize while working with children. Yoga blocks or stuffed animals are also excellent for balancing, whether the kids are using them as a balance beam or the blocks or stuffed animals are in various positions on top of the kids.

IDEA #5: YOGA CRAFTS FOR KIDS

A lengthier kids’ yoga session is the ideal time to follow it up with some entertaining crafts. You may create your eye pillows, glitter jars, balancing eagles, life-size skulls, and other crafts that fit your theme. You might create animal masks or puppets if you took an animal yoga session, for instance.

IDEA #6: YOGA WITH STORYBOOKS

Several excellent yoga books detail each posture. A simple lesson plan results from this. Alternatively, you may add yoga positions to each section of a novel you enjoy, drawing inspiration from the plot or the pictures. The Empty Cup serves, as an illustration, using the Zen Story.

IDEA NO. 7. CHILD YOGA GAMES 

To keep youngsters interested in the class, playing games are usually a good idea. You can use a variety of fun kid-friendly yoga activities to enhance your camps, such as the Scavenger Hunt or these wonderful games.

IDEA NO. 8: YOGA SUNSHINE SALUTATIONS

An excellent approach to begin any yoga session is sun salutations (Surya Namaskar). With the use of visual aids like the Yoga Man vs. The Stressor colouring pages from the Inclusive Yoga Module, kids can do sun salutations more easily.

IDEA #9: YOGA POSES DONE IN PAIRS

Yoga with a partner is an excellent approach to get youngsters to cooperate and have fun. Kids can learn how to help one another at this time as well. Since I’ve been teaching kids for 20 years, I can attest that partner yoga is fantastic for kids over 5 years old. As in a family yoga class, it is best to pair up children under the age of five with an adult.

IDEA #10: CHILDREN’S RELAXATION TECHNIQUES

Any yoga session must include relaxation, and children need it just as much as adults do. While some problem-solving may be required during your downtime, there are many wonderful strategies that you can employ with children. Imagination, deep breathing, and progressive muscle relaxation are a few favourites.
