This practice contains a few poses to do with a song and video. While this practice is interactive, the soothing melody of the song can help calm your child down. I like to use this short practice to transition into calmer or quieter activities to help calm the body and mind.

This video is a longer practice led by an experienced teacher with two young students with her. In this video, your child will experience a longer routine led by an instructor who makes the poses fun and has children so your child can see what their pose might look like for someone closer to their age. This video is a great way to get a fuller experience.
