Family Fun Yoga Class with Spring Yoga Poses & Easter Egg Activities
Welcome! I am Sara Weis of Go Go Yoga for Kids Welcome to our Spring Easter Family Yoga Class. I know that Easter will be a little different for you this year, but we still wanted to bring some Easter fun to you.
There are lots of fun Spring yoga poses and games that can be done at any time. Today we are going to take you through some of the Spring themed Easter Poses.
You can find an entire list of Spring and Easter Yoga Poses and Games at

This kids yoga class is geared toward children ages 3-10. I do have my helpers here with me today, I know that they are little older, but they still love to have fun with yoga.
You do not need to have any props, but I am using some plastic eggs and our Kids Yoga Challenge Pose Cards.

We are going to have fun with this Spring Family Yoga class! I would do it with kids. So grab your kiddos. If you do not have any, you can definitely join in the fun yourself!
I want to introduce you to Funny Bunny. He is a little shy, but is going to help us with our yoga class today.
1. What words or things do you know about Spring? What happens outside and with the animals?
2. Pretend to be a little seed in the ground. Feel the warm sun on your back and slowly begin to grow. What are you going to grow into? A flower? A tree? Something in your garden?
3. Now let's practice Bunny Breath. Take one long inhale through your nose and then exhale with 3 short sniffs. Like a bunny!
4. Now let's warm up the whole body with some Egg Rolls
5. We are going to learn and practice our Spring Easter Poses!
Draw out a plastic egg and inside will have a pose for us to practice!
Remember to visit https://www.gogoyogakids.com/spring/ for full list of poses. We have practiced Flower Pose, Butterfly Pose and Tree Pose.
Now we have worked warmed up our body, practiced Bunny Breath and now lets work on some balance! Balance is very important in yoga because as you get older, you lose your sense of balance. The good news is that it can be maintained by practicing some yoga poses.
We are going to use our plastic eggs for balance! You can use what ever you have at home.
Easter Egg Balance:
Remember this is not a race! Your goal is to go slowly and mindfully and to not let your Easter Egg fall!
First, let's practice balancing on your outstretched hand.
Remember to switch hands when you get across the room.
Now let's practice on your shoulder, under your chin, on top of your head! Where else can you think to balance?
Finally, we are going to end with a little mindfulness practice! Mindfulness is paying attention on mindfulness on purpose.
Let's shake these Easter Eggs one by one, listen carefully, and see if you can guess what is inside!
This is a good practice of slowing down and being mindful.
