Want to try something different with your dad this Father’s Day? Try an falling pose together. Do not worry, there are many types of inversions and all have health benefits.
1. Boosts Your Brain: When your body is upside down and your feet are higher than your heart, the normal pull of gravity on your body is revered, which helps blood return to the heart.
2. Makes you Happy: Endorphins are released and your frown will literally be turned upside down.
3. Helps Digestion: Inversions release trapped gas and keeps things moving along.
4. Strengthen Your Body: Your muscles are turned on and your core engaged so this creates strength and balance throughout your body
5. They are fun! Be like a kid again! Kids are usually pretty good about trying anything and getting right back up again if they fall. There’s nothing wrong with trying a falling pose.
Remember that some inversions do require great strength and balance, so take things slow. You will get the same benefits from Down Dog or Legs up the wall as you will from a headstand, so there is no need to rush your body.
Bonus tip: There is nothing wrong with using a wall. Same benefits are achieved.
What a blast it was to be back at Athleta for another fun kids yoga class. This time leading a Partner Yoga for Kids class. We warmed up our bodies with exercises to get our hearts pumping. Then got ready for our partner and group poses.
We got into out Partner Poses using our Kids Yoga Challenge Pose Cards.
The yoga cards were perfect as we worked on mastering the 4 challenge levels with the included partner poses.
We continued with some fun team building group yoga poses with our Down Dog Tunnel. The kids loved it and did great!
We closed class with a Stillness and Savasana and with a few deep cleansing breaths. If you are looking to try out some more partner poses, see our tips on partner poses here.
Partner Poses Kids Love to Show Off
What a blessing it has been to lead yoga and art therapy classes this summer with the Children and Family Urban Movement. CFUM’s mission is to create a community that supports the potential of children, youth and families through educational success, healthy living, and community engagement.
Introducing the kids to yoga and mindfulness has filled my heart. The children had so much joy in trying new things.
We practiced kid friendly breathing exercises, learned yoga poses, played yoga games, demonstrated partner poses, and everyone loved the stillness and savasana at the end of each session.
As a special treat, each child was able to personalize their very own donated yoga mat. At the end of the summer they will be able to take home their own yoga mat to continue their practice.
