Yoga Poses to Enhance Calmness

How to Incorporate Calming Jars and Yoga

Incorporating yoga poses with calming jars enhances the calming experience. Combine calming jars with yoga poses by guiding children through each pose while they engage with the mesmerising motion of the jar. Encourage mindful breathing during these activities.

Here are five poses to try:

1. Mountain Pose (Tadasana): Stand tall, holding the calming jar, embodying the strength of a mountain.
2. Child’s Pose (Balasana): Kneel, sit back on the heels, and stretch forward, creating a relaxing stretch while holding the calming jar.
3. Butterfly Pose (Baddha Konasana):Sit with feet together, gently flapping the “wings” of the knees while holding the calming jar.
4. Tree Pose (Vrikshasana): Stand on one leg, placing the other foot on the inner thigh or calf, holding the calming jar in front for balance.
5. Star Pose: Stand with legs wide, arms outstretched like a star, gently shaking the calming jar while maintaining balance.
