Try the Yoga Tree Pose with Kids - bessettemorce1984

Sep is National Yoga Month and it's time to celebrate! Dive in mighty now to a few rounds of the Yoga Tree Set out. This is a great put across to teach your kids as well, try doing IT put together and breathe!

We've talked about the benefits of yoga for the entire family and know information technology can be especially helpful for children. From Yoga Cards, videos and games to a plethora of books, yoga rattling is accessible no matter where you live – you don't have to be enrolled in a studio to partake in. So if you're willing to delve in right now, might I suggest taking a few rounds of deep breathing and try the yoga tree put together. That's right, Vrksasana or "Yoga Corner Pose" is the quintessential yoga impersonate — especially when information technology comes to fitness models of outdoorsy type ads (intend a Kashi cereal spread perhaps?)

Yoga Tree Pose

In "Yoga for Children" (Simon & Schuster, 1992) authors Mary Stewart and Kathy Phillips put a unique twist on the childhood favorite game "Mother May I?" past having children "freeze" in tree pose, saying that "swaying some is allowed but anyone caught with some feet on the floor has to go to the back and start once more." At the Yoga Playdate class I Thatch, we opt for freezing in Tree Pose for "Warning light: Green Light" surgery meet having parents and children expend each other for balance (as my offspring and I show).

Besides improving balance, the benefits of Tree pose range from strengthening the thighs, calves, ankles and spine to reducing thin feet. Check much information on the benefits of Yoga Tree Pose at Yoga Journal.

Enjoy, have fun and Namaste!
