Partner Yoga for Parent-Child Bonding

Simple Partner Poses to Try Together

Here are some easy and fun partner yoga poses for parents and kids:

• Double Downward Dog: Parents take the base Downward Dog position while children place their hands on the parent’s lower back and step their feet into their own Downward Dog. This builds trust and strength.
• Partner Boat Pose: Sit facing each other with knees bent. Hold hands, press your feet together, and lift your legs to form a boat. This improves core strength and coordination.
• Supported Tree Pose: Stand side-by-side, hold hands, and use each other for balance as you practice Tree Pose.

Why Partner Yoga?

Partner yoga fosters communication, trust, and a sense of teamwork. It’s an excellent opportunity for parents to spend quality, distraction-free time with their children while encouraging a love for physical activity.

End each session with a shared mindfulness activity, like deep breathing or simple affirmations, to deepen your bond even further.
