Today was my first private yoga session with the twins. They laid out their yoga mats in the playroom and we began by chanting some OMs. Getting them to sit still and not giggle took a few tries, but by their third OM, they were more focused and relaxed and ready for some basic breathing exercises. We did balloon breathing and I had them each choose a “pretend” balloon, of any shape and color and place it on their belly. We used our breath to inflate the balloon, getting bigger as we inhale and then shrinking back as we exhale out.
I brought my set of Illustrated Kids Yoga Cards and after a few basic poses such as downward dog and cat, I had them chose the poses they wanted to do and read the poems on the backs of the cards.
