Sun Dance Series - Christmas Dance

12/18/2017

0 Comments

 
How do you get into the Christmas spirit? Only 7 days until the BIG day! At this time of year, I think we are all feeling the pressure. Christmas is a magical time to enjoy, to love, to laugh, to cherish, to remember - it is a time filled with joy and gratitude and I think that's why it's "the most wonderful day of the year". However, leading up to the 25th, the hustle and bustle can be felt all around us. Our children especially pick up on this stress, and one way we can lessen that is through quality connection time, so that you can create your own magic Christmas moments. Give this Christmas Dance a go, you can stop & yoga anytime, anywhere!

If you missed the first post in this series, you'll want to have a look at it as it will give you the background you need to best use our newest addition to the Sun Dance Series. ​

Stretch up high, wave to the star on top of the tree
(Standing in mountain pose, reach arms up & wave)
Hang down low, sweep the tinsel from your toes
(Forward fold, reaching down for your toes & pretend to sweep tinsel from your toes)
Feet jump back, into a pile of presents
(Bend your knees, place your hands down and jump or step your feet back to plank)
Belly down, check under the tree to be sure you didn't leave any laying around
(Bending at the elbows, lower your body down to the ground)
Look up at the Christmas lights
(Press the hands into the ground, to straighten the arms into cobra pose)
Now back at the decorations
(Knees under hips, curl the toes under & shift into downward dog)
& breathe & breathe & breathe
(Take 3 big breaths in through the nose and out through the nose, filling the belly BIG like a balloon when you breathe in, letting all the air out when you breathe out)
Feet jump up, back into your pile of presents
(Hop the feet up, into a frog squat)
Hang down low, sweep the tinsel from your toes
(Straighten the legs, forward fold & pretend to sweep tinsel from your toes)
Stretch up high, wave to Santa as he flies by
(Coming to stand, reach both arms up over head & wave)
Now say thank you!
(Bring your hands together in front of your heart in prayer)

May the magic of the holidays be with you now and the whole year through. We hope that you make time for deep and meaningful connection, while sharing so much peace and love. From everyone at Glow Yoga Kids, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and the happiest New Year! Let's make 2018 the best year yet.

With love & gratitude,

Vanessa & the team Glow!
