Yoga for Kids 3-5 Years w/ Chana Pfeifer, Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
Usually I teach you during camp and today I’m so excited to teach you yoga.
So what I’m going to ask you to do is breathe.
That’s the first thing because all yogis are breathing with awareness. So the first thing we’re going to do is talk about some different types of breathing.
Follow after me… Put your hand over your heart, close your eyes, and feel your heart breathing. Put your other hand on your belly. Breathe in through your nose … and breathe out of your mouth.
Next thing we’re going to do is Lion’s Breath. Lion’s Breath is a powerful technique which helps release pent up energy, including stress, anxiety and anger. See if you can do it along with me…
Mountain Pose – put your feet firmly on the floor. Stick your chest nice and proud, holding your belly tight. Stand strong like a mountain. Close your eyes, and just feel strong for a minute. While you’re in that strong pose, say out loud, “I am strong!”
That’s awesome! And now we’re going to do another strong pose called Warrior one.. Warrior One pose strengthens your leg muscles and improves your flexibility.
