Pin this Kids’ Winter Yoga Sequence for later: This pose is really tricky, and the goal is to curve your leg up behind your head and hold your calf or ankle securely with the corresponding arm to the raised leg, while leaning forward and reaching forward with the opposite arm – but it’s okay to use both arms to balance as we did here when you’re still learning. Of course, we had to finish off with a nod to one of Ella’s favorite winter activities – skating.įor Dancer’s Pose, stretch your leg towards the back wall while leaning and reaching forward with your opposite hand.
