Animal Yoga Adventure: Let’s pretend to be different animals! Can you think of other animals that stretch like the Downward Facing Dog? Try to create your own yoga poses inspired by animals like a cat, a snake, or a butterfly. Show your friends or family your new poses and see if they can guess which animal you are!
Yoga Pose Drawing: Grab some paper and crayons. Draw yourself doing the Downward Facing Dog pose. What do you notice about your body in this pose? Are your arms and legs straight? Is your back like a slide? Share your drawing with the class and talk about how it feels to be in the pose.
Breathing Buddy: Find a small stuffed animal or toy. Lie down on your back and place the toy on your tummy. Take deep breaths in and out, watching your toy go up and down. This helps you practice the breathing part of yoga. Can you keep your toy moving gently up and down for five breaths?
