Reverse Warrior Yoga Poses for Kids
Feel strong and energized in Reverse Warrior.
Reverse Warrior is a strong standing pose that stretches along the side while energizing your entire body. Through this pose, you will feel your body warm up, including your arms, core, and legs. When doing this pose, invite children to make a strong warrior call when lifting your arm to the sky.
We like to use Reverse Warrior in a sequence after Warrior I and Warrior II. Move fluidly through these poses to tap into your inner power and creativity.
Tip: Keep your knee directly above your ankle, making sure not to overextend over your toes.
|
Pose: Reverse Warrior Ages: Appropriate for all ages. For younger kids who may have trouble balancing, they can modify the pose by bending the knee slightly. Mantra: I expand my power. |
