Playing Yoga: three useful exercises for the kid
The importance of yoga is difficult to overestimate: it is necessary for adults, but for children it is absolutely necessary. "Gymnastics of health" develops flexibility and dexterity of the kid, strengthens the muscular frame, forms the body in a harmonious and enduring manner. Attach to the lessons of crumbs is in the form of a game: three exercises, imitating the habits of animals, will interest the most capricious "nehochuhu."
Lesson one is "cat". Ask the child to sit down on all fours and picture the "good" and "evil" cat. The first - lifts the shoulders and bends the back to the floor, and the second - snorts, hisses and rounds the back as much as possible. The behavior of the "evil" cat should be copied, breathing in the air, and "good" - exhaling. Such an exercise must be repeated up to ten times: it serves as prevention of ARI and ARVI, scoliosis and neuralgia.
Lesson two - the "butterfly". The kid sits down, spreads his bent legs to the sides and connects them with stops. Holding the feet with your hands, you need to quickly "tremble" with your knees, like the wings of a butterfly - to raise and lower, trying not to hit them on the floor. Waves can be varied, slowing and accelerating the pace - it develops mindfulness and self-control. "Butterfly" leads to muscle tone in the buttocks, thighs and lower legs, making the legs even and beautiful.
Lesson three - "the dog on the hunt." The Kid kneels, then straightens them, leaning on his outstretched arms. Suggest him to imagine a dog walking along the trail: the head is down, the hips are raised, the back is straight. The movements of the "dog" occur alternately: first the left leg and the right arm, then the right leg and the left arm. This exercise stimulates brain activity due to improved blood supply, forms a graceful posture, develops coordination.
