Patangasana

This pose is recommended to improve flexibility and stretch the child’s torso, thighs, knees, and ankles. It also facilitates digestion.

1. Standing with your feet together, inhale while extending both arms out parallel to the floor.

2. As you exhale, bend forward while raising one leg up so your torso and raised leg are aligned with the floor, if possible. Look straight in front of you to keep your balance. Try to hold the pose for a few seconds while breathing normally.

3. Inhale as you go back to your initial position, feet together, arms still extended out. Exhale while bringing your arms down.

4. Switch sides. Repeat two to three times on each side.
