UPWARD PLANK (TOBOGGAN)

Purvottanasana

This posture strengthens the arms and wrists of your child. It also improves the range of their shoulder movements and stretches the torso.

1. Sit with your legs extended in front of you, your feet together, and your toes pointing up.

2. Place your hands flat on the floor by your hips, fingers pointing in front of you.

3. Slightly bend your knees so your feet are flat on the floor.

4. While inhaling, bring your body up, keeping your arms and legs extended. The whole body is stretched, head back, and torso arched. Hold the pose for a whole breathing cycle.

5. Exhale while going back to your initial position.

6. Repeat three times.

You can help your child lift up their body so the stretch is easier.
