Thanksgiving is a
time to reflect on all the good things in our lives. Gratitude and yoga go hand
in hand, and practicing simple yoga poses is one way to teach kids
thankfulness.
For the month of November, try the Pretzel pose. This posture twists across
your body and is good for your digestive system.
Twists not only improve digestion, but also help to remove
toxins from the body. This is especially important during this time of the year
with all the holiday foods.
When practicing the pretzel pose, use the breath to deepen
the posture by lengthening the body on the inhale and deepening the twist on
the exhale.
For a fun way to
practice thankfulness with children, try playing the ABC game of gratitude. One
person starts with the letter A and says something that they are grateful for
that starts with that letter. For example, "I am grateful for our armed
forces." The next person uses the letter B, and so on through the whole
alphabet.
Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving full of health, yoga and gratitude!!
