Half Boat Pose

Half Boat Poe is an introductory version of Full Boat Pose. As children advance and are ready to explore, have them move on to the next step! 

Use Half Boat Pose to improve balance, stretch arms and legs, and build core strength. Children will also develop their concentration, as they begin to experiment with Full Boat Pose!

Look for this core strengthening pose in The Snowy Day and Not a Box!
