Through yoga, we can show children (and all people) that there is strength in being calm and grounded. In Hero's Pose, we can be courageous simply through sitting and finding inner stillness. We can take a moment to tune into breath, inner sensations, and state of mind. From there, we can go forth into our days with more clarity and mindfulness -- a stronger place to be. Let's look closer at this classic seated pose!
Tip: Children often have more natural mobility through their joints than adults do, because their bones are still forming (and being so active keeps them very mobile!). If you're practicing this pose with a child and it's too much of a stretch through your thighs, or even painful through your hips, low back, and/or knees, that's a warning sign from your body. Try placing a block or rolled yoga blanket (or even thick household towel) in between your heels.
Pose: Hero's Pose Ages: appropriate for toddlers and up Mantra: "I am grounded." |
