Yoga ideas for Earth Day

In honor of Earth Day, April 22nd, try this fun activity with your child. Have them crouch down into Seed pose (resting child's pose). Tell them you will place pretend dirt on their back to plant the seed. Massage gently all over their back. Next water the seed with pretend water by gently tapping your fingers up and down their spine (this may elicit some giggles from your ticklish kids). Tell them the warm sun is coming out to shine on them and they should start to sprout into a plant or tree. You could have them say what they are or suggest tree or flower pose. After this activity, it is fun to plant some real seeds in potting soil together as you talk about ideas they have to help the earth. Happy Earth Day!!
