Holiday Craft: Gingerbread Person Tree Pose
Gingerbread Person Tree Pose
The holiday season can be a busy and eventful experience. Take the time to slow down with your kids by learning new poses and getting into the spirit with a fun holiday craft. By taking the time to slow down we can relax and breathe.
Dress up and decorate your very own gingerbread person in Tree Pose. Tree Pose is great for balancing and improving concentration. Stability comes from tightening and lengthening the core. Invite your child, after school perhaps, to learn and practice Tree Pose (click here for more info on this pose).
