Is the Christmas excitement starting to make you crazy?

Here’s a solution to wear off some of the energy of anticipation

…not to mention the sugar highs from candy canes and sugar cookies…

This year in our youth yoga class we re-created the Twelve Days of Christmas yoga version.

We made it a touch more practical than the original by using camel for the rings instead of wheel. While still super active I think you’ll find this version has a good flow… it will have you puffing and laughing by the end.

Twelve Days of Christmas Yoga Style

Partridge in a Pear Tree – Tree

2 Turtle Doves – Eagle

3 Three French Hens – Stork

Have fun with it.  Laugh and let us know how it was useful for you and your kids this season in the comments below.
