Quick Answer
Use the Double-Sided Sesame Street Yoga Poses Print as a visual guide to lead a short, screen-free yoga session—Morning Flow on one side, Nighttime Flow on the other—so your child can build a simple routine that supports focus in the morning and relaxation before bed.
Why a visual yoga guide works for kids
Young children often struggle to follow verbal instructions alone. A visual guide like the Sesame Street Yoga Poses Print gives them something to look at and imitate, which makes yoga feel more like a game and less like a lesson.
Because the print is double-sided, you can separate the day into two distinct routines: a Morning Flow to energize and focus, and a Nighttime Flow to encourage relaxation and restful sleep. This helps your child know what to expect and signals the brain to shift gears.
Start small and keep it positive
For toddlers and young kids, the goal is not perfect alignment—it's about moving their bodies and having fun. Start with just a few poses and gradually add more as your child gets comfortable.
The illustrated pose cards in the Sesame Street Yoga Bundle are a great complement if you want to expand beyond the print. They feature familiar characters and 26 playful poses, making it easier for little beginners to follow along.
Step-by-Step: Using the Yoga Poses Print
- Choose the right time and side: Hang the print at your child's eye level in a spot where you have enough room to move. Use the Morning Flow side in the morning to energize and focus, and flip to the Nighttime Flow before bed to encourage relaxation. Pick a consistent time each day so the routine becomes a habit.
- Start with three to five poses: Point to a pose on the print and demonstrate it yourself. Let your child copy you. Keep it playful—breathe in and out together as you hold each pose. Add more poses only when your child seems ready. Avoid rushing; the goal is engagement, not completing every pose.
- Use the print as a calm-down tool: When your child is upset or overstimulated, bring them to the print and ask, 'Which pose would help your body feel calm?' Let them choose. This gives them a sense of control and teaches self-regulation. If they can't decide, pick the 'Resting Pose' or 'Child's Pose' for them.
- Pair with breathing and music: Before each pose, take three slow breaths together. You can also play soft, calming music during the Nighttime Flow. The print is screen-free, so it replaces tablet time with movement and mindfulness. Keep the music quiet so it doesn't distract from the poses.
- Rotate poses to keep it interesting: Even though the print shows a set sequence, you don't have to follow it every time. Occasionally let your child pick the order, or use the illustrated cards from the bundle to swap in new poses. Variety prevents boredom and keeps your child excited about yoga.
