Lesson 3 – Sun Pose
Parents:
Please read the following instructions to your child while he/she practices the sun pose.
Tip: It’s helpful to use a calm voice and slow pace
Instructions:
- Stand tall and straight
- Look straight ahead
- Reach your arms up to the sky (think: reach for the sun!)
- Hold your palms together
- Keep your whole body as straight as possible (like a pencil or sun rays).
- Say “I am the sun.”
While you hold the sun pose, practice the Extended Exhale technique from Lesson 1. Hold your pose for 3-5 breaths before you release.
Parents: Please count with your child.
Practice this pose once a day or as many times as you wish.
Challenge: close your eyes while you hold your pose. Make sure you keep your balance and a straight body.
