How To Teach Yoga & Meditation For Children ow To Teach Kids A Recline Twist In Yoga



Hi welcome back! Brooke is here and she just released from bridge pose and now we're going to take just a simple relaxing reclining twist. So on an inhalation Brooke is going to pull her knees up toward her chest lifting her feet from the floor, taking her hands and holding at the knees and just gently kind of rocking from side to side to release tension from the low back, massaging the spine. Then she'll take her arms out to the sides straight out from the shoulders with the palms facing up for the twist. Which she's going to drop her knees and her feet over to the right keeping the shoulders down, turning her gaze to look in the direction of the left hand. So twists are wonderful things to do after you've been folding forward and some back bending positions in which we've been in during the previous filming, so a twist is just a good way to neutralize and relax the spine. And then with an inhale Brooke will bring her knees back to center along with the head and then she'll drop her feet and legs over to the left, turning her head in the direction of the right shoulder. So we've just went to both sides and as always she's breathing deeply. After she's taken a few breaths, we'll inhale to come back to the center with the knees and the feet and to bring the arms closer into the sides and relax the feet down to the floor. That was a simple reclining twist.
