Sun Salutation Cards

About Sun Salutations

Sun salutations are a fun way to get kids flowing through different postures and is often used as a warm up exercise.
A sun salutation is a salute or “hello” to the sun, and I have two different versions that I use for different age groups.

For younger kids its as simple as this:

Hello Sun – stretch up high, wiggle fingers at the sun
Hello Earth – forward bend, tap ground with fingers
Hello Dog – Jump back to downward dog
Hello Caterpillar – knees, chest, chin to the floor
Hello snake – push forwards and up into cobra pose
Hello dog – push back to downward dog – shake tail, other side Hello earth – forward bend, tap ground with fingers
Hello sun – stretch up high, wiggle fingers at the sun.

For older kids there is an awesome poem thanks to ‘Storytime yoga’
