Yoga for After School Meltdowns.
Yoga is a great tool to calm your kids down. I was playing with my Flip camera yesterday and got Matt on film. I think this is s good before and after comparison. He was noticably calmer after 15 minutes of yoga.
Yoga — A Reset Button for Kids
Yoga is an amazing tool to use as an after-school reset button for children In fact, it can be done by the entire family. Even just 10 minutes of doing yoga poses that are restorative such as:
 Downward Facing Dog Pose Table Top This poses can really restore children back to his or her normal self. I usually have the kids hold the poses for 3-5 seconds. I also cue the breathing: Inhale come into forward fold, now exhale and release. Try this with your kids and see the response. |
