Dancer Pose is an excellent balance pose that helps us build stability and posture while stretching our hips and legs. While this pose might be challenging for kids, we find that kids will try over again and again to find their balance. It’s okay to topple over–we can keep trying together. Think of how dancers must practice their moves to get it right so it’s okay if you fall over or wobble–it’s all part of the dance!

In today’s fast-paced world, children are often exposed to stressors from a young age, whether it’s academic pressure, social challenges, or the overwhelming influence of digital devices. This can impact their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Yoga is a wonderful way for children to stay active, develop flexibility, and improve focus. However, young kids can often lose interest quickly, especially when it’s just about holding poses or talking about yoga.
