Benefits of Doing Dinosaur Yoga with Kids

Yoga is a mind and body practice.

This means that yoga can help children develop and strengthen their minds as well as their bodies.

There are many benefits for kids practicing yoga, including: breathing techniques, focus, meditation practices, mindfulness skills, movement control, relaxation exercises, and stretching. It also helps with muscle tone and flexibility which is great for growing kids!

Dinosaur yoga activities provide children of all ages fun mindful movement through breath control exercises. This helps kids learn how to regulate their emotions and their body. This is also a fantastic activity for teaching self regulation skills like listening with patience and following directions.

Yoga also helps increase self-confidence and body awareness through trial and error. These dinosaur yoga poses provide a good opportunity to practice new things, be playful, and to ask questions when you’re stuck! You can even challenge kids to create their own ideas!

This type of play also inspires creativity while promoting social connections. You can do these dino yoga poses on your own, with a partner, or with a class!
