5/7/2023 0 Comments Grounding yoga sequence![]() ![]() Here’s an example of a yoga sequence I do with my students every day: I include most of the poses in a traditional Sun Salutation B, and then I add more according to their age, abilities, and attention. It’s super fun, and they always feel so proud! So what poses can you use in a yoga flow sequence for kids? Once we get really good at the Flow as a whole class, I start to let other kids lead too. I add in some balance poses, and some trickier poses that need explaining, and I often give kids a chance to add in what they would like to do as well. We move fast, breathing the whole time, and then we start to slow down. When I teach kids using a Yoga Flow, I go through the whole sequence a couple of times pretty quickly. I have since fine-tuned the yoga sequence and practice quite a bit, but I am super happy with how it has evolved, and also stayed quite the same over time. That’s what got me moving when I was having trouble staying focused, I figured I’d try it out with my students. ![]() ![]() Finally, I realized I needed to create that same sense of rhythm, flow, and movement of energy that I loved in my yoga classes. When I started teaching kids yoga in a charter school 5 years ago, I had the hardest time getting kids to stop talking, stop wandering, stop worrying and feeling anxious, and just start moving. When I do vinyasa yoga as an adult attending class, I notice that I think less about things that are worrying me, and focus more on my movement and breath. A Yoga Flow is sometimes referred to as a vinyasa style of yoga (vinyasa means flow in Sanskrit). ![]()
