Kids Yoga: Relaxation

About This Class

This short, soothing kids' yoga class invites children to slow down, stay low to the ground, and cultivate calm through intentional breathing and gentle movement. The instructor leads a breath-focused warm-up with breath retention and sighing exhales, then moves through a sequence of accessible seated and supine poses — including butterfly, wide-leg forward fold, seated forward fold, knee hugs, baby twists, happy baby, and a final Shavasana. Throughout, children are encouraged to think about feelings of comfort and safety, making this class as much a mindfulness exercise as a physical one. It is perfectly suited as a wind-down before nap time or bedtime, or any moment a child needs to reset and find stillness.
