The Sun Salutation sequence is a great way to start the day or any yoga practice! It helps children feel present and stress-free while drawing energy like the heat of the sun. We often use Sun Salutations to create a flow of movement from one pose to the next. Try this as the perfect warm-up for any yoga practice, to get your kids ready for school, or as an after school activity to burn off extra energy.

Our playful Sun Salutation sequence and song are perfect for children ages 4 and older. This Sun Salutation takes the strength and development of children into consideration. This variation of Sun Salutation is safe for children who do not have the core strength required to safely practice planks and low push-ups. Instead, this sequence features safe, child-friendly poses in an order that they can safely transition from one pose to another gracefully.

Sing along with us! Enjoy the lyrics of this sequence as a mnemonic device to remember the sequence for years to come. Try it as call and response when leading children of any age 4 years and up.

Made for educators

Includes two specially designed yoga lesson plans that can be taught to kids ages 7-11 and 11-14.

In yoga, the Yamas & Niyamas are a moral code of conduct, a guideline for how to live. Together, the Yamas & Niyamas help us to make careful decisions about how to think, speak, and behave. This foundational thinking prepares children to form healthy relationships with themselves and others.

This bundle includes two (2) lesson units:

1. Yamas & Niyamas Teen Unit is 47-page PDF download directed at teenagers
2. Yamas & Niyamas Kid Unit is a 48-page PDF download directed at kids ages 7-11

Both units are a PDF download which you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print out onto paper.

This bundle contains twenty (20) lesson plans that can be used as a yoga class series, or easily incorporated into the school classroom. Adults can facilitate conversations, games, activities, and yoga experiences that give children concrete information about each of the Yamas & Niyamas.  

Each lesson plan breaks down one of the Yamas or Niyamas and includes; introduction to that specific core value, a discussion guide, small group work or activity, breathing exercises and yoga poses to challenge and engage children.

How can kids benefit from learning about the yamas and niyamas? Our founder Lara Hocheiser discusses how to apply the principles of yamas and niyamas to children ages 7-11 in Yamas and Niyamas Webinar for Kids.
