Don't have all the materials? No problem.

• Instead of a yoga mat → use a folded blanket or a thick towel on the floor.
• You don't need any materials — just a quiet space and comfortable clothing.
• Calm music can be found for free on YouTube by searching "relaxing music for kids".

📋 Step-by-step instructions

1. Prepare a quiet space with soft background music.
2. Start with deep breaths together — inhale counting to 3 and exhale counting to 3.
3. Begin with simple animal-named poses — the cobra, the downward dog, the tree, the butterfly.
4. Narrate each pose with a story — "now we are snakes stretching in the sun".
5. Finish with child's pose — sitting on your heels, forehead to the floor and arms stretched forward.
6. Close with 3 deep breaths together and a hug.

💡 Extra ideas

• Invent fun names together for each pose based on what you imagine.
• Make it part of your bedtime routine — it relaxes and prepares the body for sleep.
• Take a photo of each pose to create your own family yoga book.
