VIDEO: AVOIDING THE HOLIDAY MELTDOWNS + EASY MOMMY + ME YOGA

• GINGERBREAD HOUSE – a house pose with feet apart and hands together over your head to make a roof.
• CHRISTMAS TREE – same a the tree pose, hands together to make the top of the tree, and depending on level of difficulty and balance, place foot above or below your knee.
• STAR – feet apart and hands out at your side… then can’t resist doing some jumping jacks (slash elves).
• CANDY CANE – bend side to side to stretch!
• SNOW DOG – classic downward dog, but don’t forget to lift each leg and shake the snow off.
• MAKE COOKIES – stretch your legs and core by grabbing dough, rolling it out, then grabbing flour, cookie cutters, frosting and sprinkles as you turn to each side.
• REINDEER – gotta get ready to pull santa’s sleigh so stretch out that booty by pulling your knee to chest and then adding antlers with your hands, because you’re a reindeer, ha! :)
• SANTA’S SLEIGH – normally called the bow pose.
• SUGAR PLUM – we always finish by resting on our backs or stomaches… if it’s right before bedtime we’ll add some deep breaths and close our eyes, if not it always ends up in a pig pile!

What other poses or stretches could you give a Christmas-y name?

How do you guys like to slowdown during the holidays?
