Bringing Yoga into Your Home

5/15/2020

One of the best things about yoga is that it can be practiced anywhere including at home home! Practicing yoga together is a great bonding activity but you may feel a little lost on how to make this practice appropriate for your kids.  Yoga cards are a great way to get started!  In this video you will see Dani using the Yoga Pretzels card deck but there are many free card sets that can be printed on Pinterest. If your feeling crafty, you can take photos of you children in various yoga poses and use them as your yoga cards!  Kids will LOVE seeing themselves and may be more likely to participate if they are the star of the show.
 
Now that you have your own card deck, there are a variety of ways to use them:
  • Freeze Dance – every time the music freezes show your child a new card so they can freeze in that pose
  • Obstacle course – use your cards along with other props such as hula hoops, tunnels or pillow cushions
  • Yoga charades - take turns drawing a card and having the other person guess your pose, sound effects encouraged for animal poses!
  • Card sorting – lay out your cards and group them in different ways; groupings may include animal vs. nature poses, high vs. low poses, or poses that use specific parts of the body
 
As you can see, yoga cards are a useful tool when trying to bring yoga into your home.  Don’t forget to check out our Little Beats From Home Youtube channel for some awesome yoga videos!
