5 Constellations for Kids to Learn through Yoga Poses
You know those magical moments with children that you wish you could freeze forever?
One of those “wish we could stop time” moments for our family happened while we were snuggling together on the back patio during a warm summer’s night, looking up at the sky. My husband told my daughter and me all about the constellations, satellites, and planets in the sky. He’s obviously not an astronomer, but as a kid, he was curious about outer space.
With the 88 constellations up in the sky, it can be hard to remember all the names and shapes. Matching yoga poses to kid-friendly constellations is a great way to learn through movement – introducing constellation yoga for kids.
5 Popular Constellations for Kids to Learn through Yoga Poses
After reading books about constellations from your local library (like StarGazers by Gail Gibbons) or looking up into the sky through a constellation app on your phone, make a list of your favorite star groups to be able to mimic through yoga postures. Below, you’ll find five well-known constellations in the sky that can be acted out through yoga poses for kids.
The constellation yoga poses for kids below are specifically sequenced to invite flow from one pose to the next. Jump in and give it a go!
Isn’t it cool that there is a zoo of animal constellations in the sky! And then a ring of zodiac constellations, too. So much to learn about outer space!
