5 Sweet Treats Yoga Poses for Kids – Fun Yoga Ideas for Preschool and Kindergarten!

Giselle · February 7, 2023 ·

One of our lovely Kids Yoga Stories Ambassadors who is also a preschool yoga teacher, Cheryl Silberman of Rock Zen Roll Yoga, asked if we could put together some Sweet Treats Yoga Cards for her students. We would love to share five of the Sweet Treats yoga poses with you today!

It’s been fun collaborating on a few yoga card decks together to enhance her preschool yoga lessons. Cheryl says, “I know the kids will LOVE it. Your yoga cards are truly the best. They continue to bring yoga to life. I work alone, so to get helpful and valuable feedback is so refreshing.”

5 SWEET TREATS YOGA POSES

Below, you’ll find five yoga poses inspired by some favorite sweet treats. Try these postures and then make up your own. Focus on having fun and learning through movement—don’t worry about perfectly aligned poses.

1. Pretend to be a milkshake.

How to practice Triangle Pose: From a standing position, step one foot back, angling your foot slightly outward. Take your arms up parallel to the ground then bend at your waist, tilting your upper body forward. Reach your front hand down to gently rest on your shin and reach your other arm straight up like a straw. Pretend to be a milkshake.
