Hi boys and girls! I hope you’re having a fun week at home.

Today I’ve added some yoga poses for you to try at home to help you feel calm and relaxed. Once you are finished you can ask an adult to give you a foot massage while listening to some nice music.

1. Sun | Sun Salute or Extended Mountain Pose

Stand tall in Mountain Pose, look up, reach your arms up to the sky, and place your palms together.

2. Tree | Tree Pose

Stand on one leg, bend your opposite knee, place the sole of your foot on your inner thigh, and balance. Sway like a tree in the breeze.

3. Bird | Warrior 3 Pose

Stand on one leg. Extend the other leg behind you. Bend your torso forward and take your arms out in front of you to pretend that you are flapping your wings like a bird.

4. Rain | Standing Forward Bend

From Mountain Pose, bend your upper body, reach for your toes, and hang your arms like the falling rain.

5. Planting a Garden | Squat Pose

Come down to a squat and pretend to plant seeds in the garden.

6. Caterpillar | Locust Pose

Lie on your tummy with your arms stretched out front and inch along a leaf like a caterpillar.

7. Bee | Hero Pose

Come back to rest upright on your heels, buzz with your arms, and practice a humming breath.

8. Butterfly | Cobbler’s Pose

Sit on your buttocks with a tall spine, bend your legs, place the soles of your feet together, and gently flap your legs like the wings of a butterfly.

9. Flower | Flower Pose

Come to sit on your buttocks with a tall spine, lift your legs, balance on your sitting bones, touch the soles of your feet together, and weave your arms under your legs.  Pretend to blossom like a flower.

10. Relaxing in the Park | Resting Pose

Lie on your back with your arms and legs stretched out. Breathe and rest.  Close your eyes and imagine the sights and sounds in the park.

I hope you enjoy and feel nice and relaxed after your yoga 🙂

Take care and hope to see you soon,

Miss Nicoll xx
