Sun Salutation – My Favorite for Kids Yoga

In Kids Yoga I like a very simple version of sun salutation. I teach it slowly and use one word descriptions, which is useful when we start to go faster. Here is what I call the poses, but I suggest you use the names that you are comfortable with.

Refer to the video above to see the version I am talking about.

1. Prayer Pose
2. Sun
3. Earth
4. Lunge
5. Plank
6. Belly
7. Cobra
8. Down Dog
9. Lunge
10. Earth
11. Sun
12. Mountain

Make it Simple to Follow
When working with kids I have found it much easier to use short, even one word, directions. I makes it easier for kids to follow.

I’d love to hear other versions of the Sun Salutation that you use.
