5 Beach Poses Using a Chair (+ Printable Poster)

Giselle · July 17, 2017 ·

5 Beach Poses Using a Chair for your classroom or homeschool (Download your Beach Chair Yoga Printable Poster) | Kids Yoga Stories

Welcome back to our chair yoga poses series! This month’s theme includes beach poses!

Integrating movement into the students’ learning experiences is so important, and I’m hoping this year-long series will help to bring yoga into your life in a fun, creative, and easy way. Each month, this series will feature a different theme that includes five chair yoga poses and a recommended yoga book for kids. This month’s theme is “the beach.”

Begin your pretend visit to the beach with Luke’s Beach Day. Take a trip to an East Coast Australian beach and imagine all the things you’ll see there. Engage the children’s five senses as they bring the beach to life with their minds and bodies.

Clear the space, grab a chair, practice barefoot, and unleash your imagination!

5 Beach Poses Using a Chair

1. Extended Mountain Pose – Say hello to the sun:

Sit comfortably on your chair with your feet flat on the ground, look up, take your arms straight up to the sky, and touch your palms together. Say hello to the sun.

2. Tree Pose – Pretend to be a beach umbrella:

Come to standing next to your chair. Holding on to the chair with one hand, shift your weight and balance on one leg. Bend the knee of the leg you are not standing on, place the sole of your foot on the opposite inner thigh or calf, and balance. Pretend to be a beach umbrella blocking the sun. Switch sides and repeat the steps.

3. Warrior 2 Pose – Pretend to be a surfer:

From standing position in front of your chair, step one foot back, placing the foot so that it is facing slightly outward. Take your arms up parallel to the ground, bend your front knee, and look forward. Pretend to be a surfer riding the waves. Switch sides and repeat the steps.

4. Triangle Pose – Pretend to be a sailor:

From a standing position in front of your chair, step one foot back, placing the foot facing slightly outwards. Take your arms up parallel to the ground, bend at your waist, and tilt your upper body to the side. Reach your front hand to gently rest on your chair behind you and reach your other arm straight up. Pretend to be a sailor checking the ship. Switch sides and repeat the steps.

5. Downward-Facing Dog Pose – Pretend to be a sandcastle:

Come to standing just in front of your chair, facing the chair. Place your hands flat on the front of the chair and slowly step back so that your arms are stretched out straight in front of you. Straighten your spine, ensure your legs are hip-width distance apart, and look down between your legs. Pretend to be a sandcastle.
