Share the benefits of yoga with kids ages 7 to 10, or give them new classes to enjoy if they are already practicing! This Little Flower Yoga (LFY) program, led and developed by LFY founder Jennifer Cohen Harper, features fun approaches to strength building, mindfulness practices, breathing practices, and taking yoga off the mat and into everyday life. Your kid(s) will get five short (under 15-minute) classes that are sure to keep them engaged from start to finish.

A breakdown of these classes and their benefits:

Feeling My Strength: This class features boat pose variations and an affirmation practice of “I am so strong.” Along the way, Jennifer provides intermittent check-ins to keep kids present in both body and mind.

Kind Wishes: This class features a variation on a loving-kindness meditation practice. It’s designed to teach kids to feel loving toward others, even those who annoy them.

Bringing My Energy Up, Bringing My Energy Down: In this class, kids will learn how breathing techniques can help raise energy or lower energy levels when needed. The sequence includes equal-part breathing, breath of joy, and a four-count breath practice, all while standing tall in mountain pose.

Balanced and Steady: This class is designed to help kids tap into a sense of inner steadiness. It includes a high lunge flow that’s coordinated with the breath, a dynamic forward fold that includes “horse breath,” a slow countdown of ten breaths, and a kind-wishes practice.

Yoga at My Desk: The final class takes yoga off the mat by featuring simple yoga practices kids can do at their desks. It’s a reminder, as Jennifer puts it, that “The very best place to practice yoga is wherever you happen to be in the moment.”

We hope your kids enjoy these practices in the weeks, even years, to come!
