CRANE

Bakasana

This pose develops your child’s balance, coordination, and concentration. It works the arms, hands, shoulders, and abdominal muscles. It also provides an active back stretch.

1. Start in a standing position.

2. Bend forward looking down. Your arms are slightly bent, resting on an imaginary knee-high table.

3. Bend one of your legs back to assume the position of the crane.

4. Come back to your initial position. Switch sides and maintain the pose for a few moments.
