5 Wizard Yoga Poses for Kids

Giselle · May 13, 2019 ·

wizard yoga poses for kids | Kids Yoga Stories

What if your child isn’t ready to dive into Harry Potter, but is curious about the mystery world of wizards and witches?

Or maybe your child isn’t ready to try yoga, but is super interested in wizards? Then Wizard Yoga might just the thing to both learn about wizards and add movement to their learning experiences! 

Though we haven’t been able to find many wizard books aimed at younger children, this book kept us intrigued and turning pages: 1001 Wizard Things to Spot (1001 Things to Spot) by Gillian Doherty (Amazon affiliate link). You’ll be looking for pixies, wizards, and black cats in the pages.

Below, you’ll find five wizard-inspired yoga poses for kids, but if you’re looking for more poses, check out our Wizard Yoga Cards for Kids with eighteen wizard images and eighteen matching yoga postures.

5 Wizard Yoga Poses for Kids

Follow the five-pose flow below to bring the magical world of wizards to life through movement. Don’t worry if you haven’t tried yoga before—just jump in and give it a try. Clear the space, practice barefoot, and have fun. The focus is on introducing yoga to children, not on perfectly aligned poses. Be safe, but also encourage them to explore their creativity.

1. Pretend to be a wise wizard.

How to practice Star Pose: From a standing position, step your feet out wide. Lift both arms out to your sides and above your head, with your fingers spread out. Pretend to be a wise wizard.

2. Pretend to be a ladder.

How to practice Extended Mountain Pose: Stand tall in Mountain Pose, inhale, look up, and raise your arms straight up to the sky. Pretend to be a wizard on a ladder reaching for a book of magical creatures.

3. Pretend to be a pixie.

How to practice Tree Pose: Stand on one leg. Bend the knee of the leg you are not standing on, place the sole of your foot on the opposite inner thigh or calf (just not on your knee), and balance. Pretend to be a woodland pixie. Switch sides and repeat the steps.

Welcome

Giselle Shardlow Profile Image Welcome to Kids Yoga Stories. To create the yoga books, yoga and breathing card decks, and yoga and mindfulness classroom resources, I draw from my experience as an international teacher, a world traveler, a certified yoga teacher, and a mom to a spirited child. 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.
