Taking time to focus, breathe and connect with nature has a wonderful calming effect on the whole nervous system even for little ones. Benefits also include: stretching of the muscles, developing body strength and working on balance.

Let’s spend some time in nature this week, breathing deeply and trying out some of these insect yoga poses.

Pretend to be a butterfly flapping your wings and smelling all the colourful flowers as you close your eyes and breathe deeply

Pretend to be a frog catching a fly…I, 2, 3 jump

Pretend to be a spider with all your spider legs sitting quietly on your web

Pretend to be a worm with your belly in the grass lifting up our head to stretch

Pretend to be a bee resting on a flower collecting nectar in the garden

We have written a song and created a wonderful little video here for your little one to follow along with at home!
