Nature yoga
Stretch like a tree, curl like a hedgehog. Gentle nature poses to wiggle, stretch and calm down.

A tiny plan for your day
Estimated time: 1 min to find space · 8 min to stretch · 1 min to rest. It's fine to stop early.
Before you start
What you’ll need
- A patch of grass, a blanket or a soft rug
Let's begin
Five simple steps
That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.
Tree: stand on one leg, arms up like branches. Sway in the breeze.
Hedgehog: curl up small in a tight ball.
- Together
Butterfly: sit with feet together and flap your knees.
Snake: lie on your tummy and lift your head. Hiss!
Finish lying on your back, looking at the sky. Breathe in, breathe out.
All done!
That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
