3 Yoga Poses To Do With Your Little One

Wellness Wednesdays Recap: Sept 5th, 2018

Your little ones live in a busy world. School and extra curricular activities along with some screen time can often leave kids feeling stressed.

Yoga is a great way to help your little ones relax.

1. Tree Pose

This balancing pose is great for all ages and is often one of Dr. Aliya's favourites for super young yogis. We can guide our kids to imagine they're a giant oak tree with roots growing out of the bottoms of their feet.

Guide them: "Can you stand super tall and touch the sky?"
"Can you stay in the same position for 100 years?"

2. Cobra Pose

This pose is great for stretching your chest.

Guide them: "Lie on your tummy, place your hands flat next to your shoulders, press into your hands and lift your head and shoulders - be like a snake and hiss. Imagine you are one long spine with no arms or legs."

3. Butterfly Pose

This pose is great for loosening leg muscles and stretching the hips.

Guide them: "Sit on your bum with your spine straight. Bend your legs and bring your feet together. Flap your knees up and down like the wings of a butterfly."

Wellness Wednesdays Recap: Aug 15th, 2018

1. Massage Muscles

An easy and affordable way to give yourself a deep tissue massage. Slowly rolling over various muscles helps break up tight muscles and improve healing and recovery especially after your workout.

2. Build Balance

Similar to tools like a balance board and discs, foam rollers can also be used for a variety of different drills and exercises. Take advantage of the roller's cylindrical shape (and it's ability to move with you) and use it for exercises like this rolling lunge.

3. For Stretching

The softness and gentle feel of a foam roller makes it a perfect prop for stretching.

4. Perk Up Your Plank

Performing exercises on an unstable surface is a surefire way to engage more core muscles and make total body exercises like planks or pushups even more challenging.

5. Carve Out Your Core

Take your abs workout to the next level! By adding a foam roller, you'll force your core to work harder to help balance your body on the unstable surface.
