The Nose Pose

This morning while I was out, Dominic taught our children some basic yoga poses. They were excited to show me what they learned. So excited, in fact, that they started making up new poses. Although they had more to show me, these are the ones that made sense.

Benjamin with an alpaca and her cria
Benjamin:
The Nose Pose - he plugged his nose
The Fall Down Pose - from a standing position, he fell straight down
The Couch Pose - he flopped onto the couch

Samuel feeding the cria, Gypsy Girl
Samuel:
The Hair Pose - he held his hair out to the sides
The Pillow Pose - he sat on a pillow and tried to scoot forward
The Tickle Pose - he tickled his own tummy and then fell to the floor

Rose and her cria, Brooklyn Rose.

The alpaca pictures do make sense. Dominic's yoga instructors breed alpacas, and then give educational tours to children. We even got to see them shear an alpaca while we were there.

  1. My kids love yoga too. But they've never come up with any fun poses like your kids. Caleb's favorite is the lion pose. He especially likes when we all growl at him. We can't do yoga with Katrina though, we end up laughing at her attempts too much to actually do any yoga.

  2. How fun! I think yoga is a great way to exercise with children.
