Yoga
There are so many benefits to practising yoga with the kids. It strenghtens, stretches, invigorates, calms - and of course it is fun. In our yoga collection we have useful yoga posters, cards and colouring pages for learning suitable poses for children, as well as games to play to help the children become more familiar with them.
Children will naturally avoid twisting their bodies in a way that is painful or damaging so don’t worry too much about the specifics of the yoga poses - let them naturally create the shape or the stretch that feels good for each position. The emphasis is on having fun, moving and finding what feels nice.
Did you know that 21st June is International Yoga Day? That seems like a great excuse to try some yoga poses with the kids, or perhaps have a go at one of our Move and Stretch stories!

Move And Stretch Story - The Gingerbread Man
