Find an open space. Stand across from your child with your feet directly below your hips. Lift up your toes and press the four corners of your feet into the floor. Rest your palms open at your sides. Inhale, and lift your shoulders up to your ears. Exhale, and press your shoulders down and back. Your chin should be parallel to the floor. Allow your toes to drop, keeping the four corners of your feet pressing into the floor.

Now, breathe five deep inhales and exhales. Challenge yourselves, and try keeping your eyes closed while attempting this pose. Do as many rounds as necessary until you feel as grounded and as powerful as a mountain.

Talk about being a mountain, strong and tall! Think about standing tall like a mountain throughout your day.
