Kyra is still young (37 months) to properly breathe through each poses and concentrate on her muscles, but I think she is ready for small sessions of it with my help.
She is interested so far in poses and wont run away even when the stretch gets a bit painful. I have been gentle and have started with some easy poses concentrating on weight bearing and spine health.
She did 9 poses for 5-10 counts, depending how challenging the pose was for her, and ended with cool down (not included in video)
1. Butterfly pose
2. Seated Twist
3. Cobra pose
4.Balancing table pose
5.Standing fold pose
6.Triangle pose
7.Tree pose
8.Bridge pose
9.Downward dog pose
