Kids Yoga: Blocks

About This Class

This 11-minute kids' yoga class with Amanda Huggins is all about exploring the yoga block in imaginative, playful ways. Children begin in child's pose with the block under their forehead to encourage relaxation and deep breathing. They then move to tabletop, balancing the block on the sacrum while practicing bird-dog-style extensions to build core stability and body awareness. A seated "yogi grip" arm raise uses the block to engage shoulder alignment and breath coordination. The sequence then flows through down dog, low lunges with the block held overhead (encouraging shoulder strength and spinal length), and standing forward folds. The class culminates in tree pose performed on top of the block, adding a playful balance challenge. Throughout, Amanda uses kid-friendly language and encourages a lighthearted attitude toward wobbling and falling. No yoga block? Household alternatives like sturdy toys are welcomed.
