Lotus Pose

There are many simple yoga poses for kids that introduce the theory of yoga and help them stay active. You can try teaching children a couple of poses during regular play as a lead-in to quiet time or as part of a full routine.

When it’s time to quiet down and tune out the distractions of the day for a few minutes, Lotus Pose is the perfect posture. Keep the back straight, the shoulders down from the ears, and the eyes closed. Breathe deep. The hands can rest palms on the knees or in the position shown here.
