Dhandasana
This pose stretches your child’s spine as well as their calves and back muscles.
1. Sit with your legs extended in front of you, your feet together, and your toes pointing to the ceiling.
2. Put your hands flat on the floor, giving a light push.
3. Inhale and exhale deeply several times.
4. You can practice the pose with your eyes shut or open.
Practice with your child. Just like the standing postures, the sitting postures (activities 51 to 66) usually become more appealing when practiced as a game. For example, while in upward plank you can let a ball roll down the child’s back.
