fit Workout: Yoga Flow

Bend and stretch while recharging your body and mind with this yoga flow.

Keeping kids active is essential for their growth and development – and yoga is a fantastic way to get moving while calming the mind. Yoga is not just stretching or exercise; it is a full mind-and-body workout that encourages kids to focus, relax, and feel good.

This fit Workout Yoga Flow video guides children through seven gentle yoga poses that combine body movement and mindful breathing. In this video, kids will learn how moving their bodies through simple yoga poses helps build strength and flexibility, while breathing promotes calm and refreshes the body and brain. Every part of this yoga flow works to connect their body, thoughts, and emotions in a balanced way.
