Yoga for Kids: Posture & Healthy Growth

This is the third episode of the Yoga for Kids series with Lavina Bharwani and her co-host Kabir, a playful, stretchy session that starts with Mountain Pose, or Tadasana. The focus is on standing tall and moving well, encouraging good posture and healthy, active habits as children grow. The friendly co-host format keeps it fun and easy to copy, so kids build body awareness through play rather than instruction.

It is made for children and supports the kind of active, upright habits that are helpful during the growing years. The aim is simple and positive: to give kids an enjoyable way to stretch, stand tall and get moving. Rather than demanding difficult shapes, it keeps things accessible so children of different ages can join in and feel good about how they move.

Set up at home with a mat, rug or clear patch of floor where your child has room to stand and stretch. Let them follow along at their own pace and copy the movements as best they can; precision matters far less than having fun and staying involved. Joining in yourself makes it more of a shared game and helps younger children keep going.

Keep it light and never push a stretch or pose. Children's bodies are still developing, so comfort and enjoyment come first, and your child should feel free to pause or skip anything that does not feel right. If your child has any condition affecting movement or posture, have a quick chat with your doctor before starting.

This episode rounds out the series alongside the calm-and-emotions and memory-and-focus sessions, as a gentle, regular way to encourage kids to move and stretch.
