List of yoga poses for kids | Kids Yoga Stories

This list of basic yoga poses for kids serves as an inspiration guide, but please encourage the children’s creativity. Yoga poses for kids often mimic our natural surroundings and may be interpreted in different ways. Some things to consider when you are practicing yoga with your children:

  • Feel free to adapt or change the yoga poses to suit your needs.
  • Focus on having fun with movement, not on practicing perfectly aligned poses.
  • Engage the children. Follow their passions and interests.
  • Create authentic, meaningful experiences.
  • Cater to their energy levels and different learning styles.
  • Be creative and enjoy yourselves, but please be safe.
  • Wear comfortable clothing and practice barefoot.
  • Play yoga games to engage them in learning about the poses.

Our Kids Yoga Stories’ characters, Sophia, Luke, Elizabeth, Baraka, Pablo, and Anamika, demonstrate the kids yoga poses in the list below, followed by the yoga pose name, possible keywords, and descriptions.

    Do you sell flash cards of the above Yoga Poses illustrations,
    or are they available to download somewhere on your website?

    Thanks!

        Hi, I have a suggestion about the flash cards. As a former graphic artist and now a certified kids yoga teacher. Have them as a downloadable e-book format where people can purchase them and save the file to their hard drive. They can then print them out any size and get them laminated if needed. It would save you a bundle of money doing it this way and also the hassle of finding a printer (know only too we’ll the trials of finding printers to do print various jobs).
        Hope this helps and thanks for all your hard work in putting the books together 🙂

      Great, thanks Kim! Would love to hear more about your Masters Degree project. I’ve been doing some research on the benefits of yoga, so always up for hearing more. Thank you for including a link to the site as credit for the poses. Really appreciate you asking! My email is giselle at kidsyogastories dot com if you need anything else.

    Hi there,

    I am a pediatric physiotherapist for children with special needs and a yoga teacher for kids. We use yoga poses in therapy all the time and the children love it! In the past I have been using an image of an animal for the children and then demonstrating the pose. I am wondering if it would be possible to use your images of the poses (with credit) along with the animal so that children may see the pose, the animal and then also the demo. I think it would really help the children and the parents to put it all together! Your images are wonderfully simple and will work perfectly for the children I work with. Directing them to your site would also give the descriptions of pose to practice at home and some further options for ongoing practice!

    Is it possible to purchase higher resolution images?

    Thanks,
    Angie

    Hi,
    I am planning on using your books with some of my storytimes at the public library and outreach.
    I would like to leave a picture of the pose with the preschools I visit once a month so they can practice inbetween visits. Do you have pics that can be enlarged?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    I loved your article and I am a Yoga instructor myself so I know how hard it is when it comes to making kids do yoga, it is a real pain to get a bunch of them together to hold on to their positions. I loved your 58 yoga poses for kids and I think it can save me a lot of trouble. I would love to buy the book and get it printed on my studio walls. Can you help me out with it?

    Lots of love,

    Thanks for sharing the interesting post about yoga poses. Yoga is really useful for kids and keeps them calm, active and healthy. According to me, sending your kid to yoga class is one of the best options. We reside in Albert Park, Australia and send our kids to Little Warriors Yoga (http://www.littlewarriorsyoga.com.au/). If you also want to boost the confidence of your kid then select the right Yoga class.

    This is so cute and really appropriate for kids! They won’t even recognize that they’re doing yoga because of the colorful illustrations. Aside from the pictures, the instructions are also easy to understand.

    Thanks for explaining that teaching yoga to children should be focused on having fun with the movements and poses, not getting them exactly perfect. My son has become really interested in energy, and he wants to find a children’s yoga class to take soon. I’m glad I read your article because now I know what practices and focuses to look for as we evaluate different children’s yoga instructors.

[…] 5: Yoga: While many of our kids can have problems with coordination, simple yoga poses can help to increase balance and flexibility and can be made fun and a little more easily identifiable by using animal names for the poses. This can also help for those kids who have a problem mimicking or copying a sequence of moves. Many kids love “acting” like their favourite animal and can relate to it easier than simply saying “watch and do what I do.” It’s also a chance to help teach them some breathing/calming techniques also. For some examples of easy animal poses, take a look here. […]
