There are five yoga exercises that the parents can practice with the toddler.

  1. The snake

    They have to lie down on their stomach and needs to lean on their elbows and they have to put their hand palms flat on the ground. They have to push their breast up with their hands and needs to watch in front of them. They have to stretch until the tips of their tows.
    This attitude is good for children who sits curved on their chair.

  2. The frog
    They have to squat with their knees to the outside and their heels against each other. They have to held their back straight and they have to look in front of them. When they are standing like this, they can make the sound of a frog.
    This attitude makes the children laugh and laughing ensures relaxation.

  3. The dog
    They have to sit on their hands and knees. Their hands have to stand under the shoulders and the knees have to stand on hip width. They have to stretch their legs and have to put their buttocks in the air. They have to let their head relax and they have to look between their arms. While they are standing like that, they look like a peeing dog.
    This attitude takes care of a better blood flow of the organs.

  4. The butterfly
    They have to sit upright with their soles of the feet against each other. They have to bring their feet as close as possible against the sit bones. They have to let the knees fall to the outside and put their hands around their feet. The knees can be moved up and down slowly like the feathers of a butterfly.
    This attitude takes care of a flexible lower back and pelvis.

  5. The flamingo
    They have to stand upright with their arms in the air and their hand palms against each other. They have to focus on one point to keep their balance. They have to move their weight to their left leg and put their right leg up. They have to place their sole of the right foot against the inside of the left leg.

The intention of this exercises is to keep the ghost and the body in balance. This exercises give the people strength and energy. This takes care of the wellbeing and a feeling of relaxation and less stress. This is a good exercise for kids because it has a great effect on the relaxation, mobility, self-esteem and the ability to concentrate. It also has a positive effect on the fantasy and creativity.

 

Position on the wire

This activity can be put on the “pull the wire” position because the toddler and the parents needs to connect with each other by doing this exercises together and putting faith and trust in each other. They have to aligning on each other to do it right and to bring it to the right end.

 

Part of the parent

Part of the toddler

These exercises aren’t only for the toddler, but also for the parents. The parents needs to take these positions to show their toddler how they have to do it and to give the right example. When the parent sees that the toddler can’t do it or when the toddler is scared, the parent can give hints or can help the toddler. When the parent is helping the kid, he is showing that he is sensitive and involved.

The kid needs to relax and needs to listen to the hints of the parent. The kid needs to do the exercise as good as possible to forget his worries and thoughts for a moment. When the toddler can’t make the position on his own, they can ask help to the parents. When they are asking help, they will experience a feeling of involvement and tuning.

There will be asked some questions like “Did you liked it?”, “Did you experienced a feeling of relaxation?”, “Did you had stress?”, “Did it hurt?”, “Do you want to do this again?” ... . the parents and the toddler needs to answer on this questions by taking a position in the room. When the question is applicable (so when the answer is yes) they have to put themselves on a high position (for example on the stairs). But when the question isn’t applicable (so when the answer is no), they have to put themselves on a low position (for example by lying on the floor.
