St. Patrick’s Day Yoga for Kids: Find Your Lucky Calm!

St Patricks Day themed kids yoga

Welcome to a fun and exciting St. Patrick’s Day yoga adventure, where we’ll stretch, breathe, and wonder about the magic of this special day! Let’s gather our lucky charms and get ready to explore the cheerful spirit of Ireland through yoga.

🌈 Mindful Breathing: Rainbow Breaths

Before we jump into our yoga poses, let’s connect our breath. Find a comfortable seated position, close your eyes, and follow along.

  1. Inhale deeply through your nose, imagining you’re breathing in bright colors from a rainbow.
  2. Hold your breath for a moment, feeling the colors fill you up.
  3. Exhale slowly through your mouth, letting go of anything that doesn’t make you feel lucky or happy.

Practice this for a few moments, feeling more relaxed with each breath you take.

🍀 Yoga Poses: Lucky Leprechaun Flow

Now, let’s move our bodies like a lucky leprechaun! Try these fun poses:

  1. Leaning Rainbow (Side Stretch)
    Stand tall and reach your hands up to the sky.
    • Inhale and lean to the right, feeling a nice stretch along your left side.
    • Exhale back to the center and repeat on the left side.
    • Imagine you’re a rainbow bending in the sky!
  2. Lucky Clover (Tree Pose)
    Stand on one leg and place the other foot on your inner thigh or calf.
    • Raise your arms overhead like branches.
    • Imagine you’re a sturdy clover rooted in the ground, swaying gently in the breeze.
    • Switch legs and repeat!
  3. Pot of Gold (Seated Forward Bend)
    Sit on the ground with your legs extended in front of you.
    • Inhale as you reach your arms up.
    • Exhale as you fold forward over your legs, imagining you’re finding treasure at the end of the rainbow.
    • Hold for a few breaths and enjoy the stretch!
  4. Dancing Leprechaun (Cat-Cow Pose)
    Come onto your hands and knees in a tabletop position.
    • As you inhale, arch your back (like a happy cow), lifting your head and tailbone.
    • As you exhale, round your back (like a curious cat), tucking your chin and tailbone.
    • Move through these poses several times, feeling the rhythm of your breath.

☘️ Closing Meditation: Lucky Moments

To finish our yoga practice, let’s take a moment to sit quietly.

  1. Sit comfortably with your eyes closed or softly looking ahead.
  2. Place your hands on your heart and take a few deep breaths.
  3. As you breathe in, think about something that makes you feel lucky or happy.
  4. As you breathe out, let go of any worries.
  5. Spend a few minutes just being, feeling the happiness of being present.
