Fun and Easy Chair Yoga Ideas for Kids

Giselle · November 12, 2018 ·

Are you looking for easy chair yoga themes for your classroom or homeschool?

I’ve put together a list of themes from our monthly chair yoga series to give you a starting point to introduce movement in the classroom in a fun, creative, and easy way. Each theme includes five yoga postures using a chair. Each yoga pose is intended to:

  • energize students at the beginning of the school day to get their minds ready to learn
  • give students a brain break after a long academic session
  • help students release energy after recess so they can focus on their next learning experience
  • introduce a new topic through movement and by stimulating their creative minds
  • provide a quick and easy way to add movement after long periods of sitting
  • develop the student’s flexibility and strength
  • serve as inspiration that you can adapt to your classroom
  • help promote a healthy, active lifestyle.

Giselle Shardlow Profile Image Welcome to Kids Yoga Stories. To create the yoga books, yoga and breathing card decks, and yoga and mindfulness classroom resources, I draw from my experience as an international teacher, a world traveler, a certified yoga teacher, and a mom to a spirited child. I’ve been practicing yoga practically my whole life, and after I became a mom, I fell in love with the idea of sharing yoga and mindfulness with my daughter. Read more.
