Kids Yoga Challenge

  • We start this challenge on June 16th 2014.
  • The challenge ends on June 29th 2014.
  • The kids have been given stars to hand over to parents.
When do kids earn stars:
  • 1 star every day they practice Suryanamaskara 3 sets.
  • 1 star per pose, if they teach a new yoga pose to someone. 
  • Stars for acts of kindness. Every star here should include a written explanation of what the child did to deserve this.

The kids seem to have fun yesterday. We learnt Bow pose, half bridge pose, side angle poses, twisted side angle pose and caterpillar pose.

We also discussed our 'Kids Yoga Challenge' that starts next week.
