Yoga for Parents and Kids - Yoga Cards and Breathing Exercises - Grumpy Dumpling

Yoga for Little Ones: Breathe, Move, Connect

How many seconds does it take to help your child calm down?

Just a few deep breaths. Seriously.

But for it to work when it actually matters (on the verge of becoming overwheled by emotions), it needs to be practiced together, ahead of time, in moments of connection.

That's exactly why we created this pack.

Why yoga? Why now?

Because childhood shouldn't just be rushed and chaotic. Neither should parenting. Although most of the times it is.

Yoga with little ones means:

• Quality time: not in front of a screen, but face to face, with laughter and silly poses
• A stronger body: flexibility and balance
• Emotions that are easier to handle: for you and for them

When your child (or you) feels like it's all too much, the body switches into fight-or-flight mode. The heart races, thoughts pile up, the breath becoes fast and shallow.

One slow, deep breath changes that from the inside:

• it activates the vagus nerve, signaling to the brain that the threat has passed
• lowers cortisol levels, the stress hormone
• brings the body back to a state of calm and control

Teach this to your child now, and you give them a tool they'll use for the rest of their life.
