Far, far, far, we’re going to the stars! In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, BLAST OFF!
In this week’s kids yoga classes, we’re climbing aboard a rocket ship and taking a journey through the lifecycle of a star.
The universe is BIG and full of inspiration for kids yoga classes based on the stars, planets, and more.
This yoga class is perfect for kids aged 4 to 8 years old but you can easily adapt it for younger preschoolers or toddlers aged 2.5-3.
We start on Earth where we suit up for our journey, then float through space in search of a baby star or nebula cloud (Goddess Pose).
As the star grows to Supernova, gather the kids into a tight circle, Squat down low (Malasana), then explode outwards into Star Pose.
Your final rest (Savasana) will guide the kids through a short meditation that floats them calmly and gently back to Earth.
