Summer Yoga Ideas for Kids (+ Printable Poster)

Giselle · July 4, 2022 ·

Summer Yoga Ideas | Kids Yoga Stories

As my daughter’s school year comes to a close, I find myself thinking of ways to integrate yoga into our summer days together.

I aim to create yoga as a lifestyle for our family.

Embracing all the facets of the yoga philosophy is important to me: including sitting silently, breathing together, teaching my daughter how to be a kind and happy person, doing community service projects, and practicing yoga poses for kids.

30 Summer Yoga Ideas for Kids

Find a variety of ways to integrate yoga into your summer plans:

  1. Make up games with yoga cards for kids
  2. Act out yoga books for kids
  3. Practice calming yoga poses at bedtime
  4. Sit silently and meditate every day for 5 to 15 minutes
  5. Deliver food to someone who needs help
  6. Offer to do yard work for a neighbor
  7. Practice mindful breathing as you are waiting in line
  8. Act out children’s books in your garden
  9. Write in a Gratitude Journal every day
  10. Eat mindfully and savor every bite
  11. Practice partner yoga poses together

  22. Practice one Sun Salutation every morning
  23. Set an intention (sankalpa) for the summer
  24. Create a positive mantra and repeat it to yourself every day
  25. Invite friends and neighbors over and host a Yoga Summer Camp
  26. Commit to five minutes per day of meditation, movement, or mindfulness
