Ages 4 to 8 years

Yawning Yoga helps me unwind,
thank my body, my spirit, my mind.

A diverse group of friends share poems and step by step child friendly poses to guide little ones in transitioning from restless readers to yawning yogis.

Let's start with a gentle Om. Flow from Mountain (Tadasana) to Hugs & Kisses (Uttanasana) to Dog Tired Down Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana). Get ready to rest, and fly through shining moonbeams. Rock to and fro, roll and stretch. Let our worries release, be at peace. Relax down from head to toe. Hands at our hearts to finish the day...

The light in me sees the light in you,
I bow my head and my light shines through.
