Intro to Kids’ Yoga—with Phresh Yoga Mats
We love fitness products that support fit, healthy fams. That’s why we love products like these and these that get the whole family outside, moving together. Anything that gets everyone moving and having fun has our seal of approval! One of those products just landed in our inbox, so we knew we had to share.
Designed to get kids moving, Phresh Yoga Mats are specialized mats with symbols to properly align the body. The mats come with corresponding game cards, posters of poses and/or a teacher training manual. The mats are printed with shapes that serve as a map for properly aligning the body; the symbols are a guide to the correct positioning of the hands, feet and body. Think of it as Twister for yoga!
The mats come in three different sizes: Teen/Adult for ages 10+ and 5′ to 5’11”; Kids mat for ages 6 to 9 and 4’11” and below; and Mommy and Preschool matching set for ages 3 to 5. So not only can kids of any age practice yoga, but moms and preschoolers can do yoga side by side for all of the flexibility, balance, coordination, strength, and stamina benefits yoga offers.
Right now the company is raising money for its campaign, but we think this is such a fun way to introduce kids to yoga. Check it out!
Have you tried yoga with your kids? Will they sit or stand still long enough to strike a pose? —Erin
