flamingo pose

fulgenzimama

Stand facing your child in an open space with your feet a hip's width apart, your spine straight, and your shoulders back. Bring your right knee up so that your thigh is parallel with the floor. Open your arms and flap your wings! If you're feeling really steady, kick your right leg back behind you and flap your wings for two to three deep inhales and exhales. Repeat, raising the other leg. Do four or five rounds. Imagine standing strong, proud, and beautiful, like the flamingo.

This pose is great for balance, imagination, and concentration.
