What is Yoga?
In many parts of the country, team sports have been cancelled because
of the pandemic. In some places it is hard to play outside because of
COVID and/or the weather. But there is one sport you can do in your
own home. It’s yoga!
Can you pose like a dog? How
about a cat? Maybe a cobra or
a butterfly?
Yoga is an ancient form of fitness with poses that help
you stretch, relax and get stronger.
The Benefits of Yoga
Research shows yoga has many benefits. Use the code
to find out what these are.
These poses can be fun and
silly. They are also yoga
poses that are good
for you!

Have you ever watched a dog when it
gets up from resting? It might do this
stretch which ancient yogis (people who
do yoga) discovered was a good stretch
for people, too.
1. Go to your hands
and knees and
breathe in deeply
through your
nose.
2. Exhale and
stretch your
legs and arms
so that your
bottom is up in
the air.
3. Push the ground firmly
with your hands. Stretch
your legs, bending and
straightening your
knees very carefully.
Stop if you feel any pain!
4. Return to your
hands and
knees.
Relax and
repeat.
Cat Pose
Move onto your hands and
knees. Take a deep breath in
through your nose. Round your
back and lower your chin to
your chest.
Exhale and lower your back
and raise your head.
Rest and repeat.

No one knows exactly when yoga began. It’s been around
for thousands of years. How yoga is practiced has changed over
time as different people in different places started doing it. But one
thing that people who practice different kinds of yoga agree on is
that yoga can improve health and well-being for people of all ages.
Cobra
No reason to be afraid of this
cobra! It is a great yoga pose
and stretch.
Hold That
Pose!
Lie down with your belly on the
ground.
Place your hands under your
shoulders and your
forehead on the ground.
Breathe in through your nose
and press your hands to the
ground while raising your head and
shoulders.
Butterfly
Exhale through your mouth and
teeth and hiss like a snake.
Sit on the floor and bring the soles of your
feet together. Let your knees fall outward
so your legs look like butterfly wings.
Lower your body back to the ground.
Relax and repeat.
Look through the
newspaper for a
photograph or
drawing of an
animal or person.
Copy the pose and
see how long you
can hold it. The
sports pages have
great challenging
poses.
