2. Down Dog-Adho Mukha Svasana

This is another unique pose. The Down Dog can simply be used to connect with others. You can allow kids to take their Down Dog's for a 'walk' moving away from their mats and around the room, saying hello to other 'Dogs'. Another option to carry out the Dog pose is in a group setting. Allow them to form a line of Down Dogs, making a tunnel like opening beneath their bodies. One at a time, have a kid come onto their belly for Caterpillar and inch-worm their way beneath the lifted Dog Poses.

4. Butterfly Pose-Purna Titali Asana

The Butterfly Pose is a special pose for kids. It delivers another yogic shape that can be used as a pose of connection. Kids can be allowed to create a circle in their mats, belly down, just less than arms distance apart. When the kids lift their arm, bellies connected to their mats, they can simply join their arms together and fly together! Another way is to have kids emerge from a Cocoon Pose onto their feet and explore 'flying' as butterflies to interact with each other around the room.
