Easter Yoga Poses for Kids + Easter Yoga Game

Giselle · April 11, 2022 ·

easter yoga poses for kids | Kids Yoga Stories

Our local Easter egg hunt marks the beginning of spring for us here in the Northeast of United States. Though we’ve lived here for six years now, the cold winter season still comes as a shock to our family. So any time there’s a chance to bring out cute and colorful spring and Easter yoga and Easter activities with my daughter, we’re in!

We’ve received Easter catalogs in the mail and seen Easter books on display in the library. What do you have planned for your Easter celebrations? Along with your fun Easter activities, why not add movement to your celebrations with these twelve Easter yoga poses for kids.

Simply clear a space (indoors or outdoors), practice barefoot (if possible), grab a yoga mat (or towel on a non-slip surface), and give yoga a go! Feel free to encourage your children’s creativity—ask them if they have any other Easter yoga poses to add to the sequence.

Easter Yoga Poses for Children

The following kid-friendly yoga postures have been specifically sequenced to invite flow from one pose to the next. But feel free to shorten or lengthen the sequence to suit the ages and needs of your children. Make this Easter yoga experience your own.

1. Pretend to be a Chick or Duck – Squat Pose

How to practice Squat Pose: Come down to a squat with your knees apart and bend your arms, pretending they are the wings of a duck. Then try waddling and quacking like a duck.

2. Pretend to be an Easter Bunny – Hero’s Pose with Bunny Breath

How to practice Hero’s Pose with Bunny Breath: Come to rest upright on your heels with your palms resting on your knees and take four to six short breaths then a long exhale to pretend to be the Easter Bunny.
