Fairy Yoga (+ Printable Poster)

Giselle · June 10, 2019 ·

Fairy yoga: magical yoga poses for kids | Kids Yoga Stories

Who doesn’t love fairies!

Watching my daughter enter the magical world of pretend play has been so cool. She loves dressing up as fairies and princesses. During a recent nature walk, we pretended to be walking through a fairy forest and going on fairy adventures. We also found fairy books in the library, and she loved doing fairy sticker books during our summer travels. We even planted a fairy garden this year.

Another way to celebrate fairies is through movement and story. First, take out your fairy, princess, or other pretend world gear (books, stickers, dress-up clothes, stamps, cards, figurines, etc.). Create a fairy world in your studio, classroom, or home to ignite their imagination.

You could follow the suggested fairy yoga sequence below or grab a yoga pose card pack and make up your own fairy-inspired yoga sequence. Don’t worry about practicing the yoga poses perfectly—just give it a go. Spark your children’s imagination by joining in their pretend fairy yoga experience and asking them questions: How do fairies move? Where do fairies live? What makes fairies special? What do fairies do for fun? See how your fairy yoga experience unfolds… no doubt in a magical way.

Stand on one leg. Extend the other leg behind you. Bend your torso forward and take your arms out to the sides to pretend you are flying through the fairy forest. Repeat on the other side.

Locust Pose for Kids | Kids Yoga Stories

Lie on your tummy. Lift your chest and shoulders, look up, and rotate your bent arms in circles as if you are swimming through the waterfall pools.

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.
