Upavistha Konasana

Wide Angle Seated Forward Bend gives kids a new way to sit, as they stretch and improve circulation in their legs. Perfect for circle time, you can have children connect their feet to each other to create a group pose!

Some of our favorite kids yoga activities that incorporate this pose are Birthday Cake and Not a Box. Both are fun and easy ways to bring yoga into elementary schools, preschool, or yoga class.

Step 1
Sit with your legs in front of you, with your legs spread comfortably apart.

Step 2
Rest your hands between your legs, and slide them forward.

Step 3
Hold this position for a couple of breaths.

Step 4
Slowly return to sitting upright, then bring your legs back together.
