fish pose

Find an open space on a carpeted area or yoga mat. Lie down next to your child with your arms at your sides and your palms facing the floor. Lift your upper body up onto your elbows with your weight on your forearms and your palms. Your elbows should be in a straight line under your shoulders. Your fingers should be pointing toward your toes. Open your chest, arch your back, and tilt your head back carefully, pressing the top of your head into the floor. Hold the pose for five deep inhales and exhales.

Take a break and ask your child what kind of fish he or she would like to be. Then do two more rounds.
