In this segment of the "Passion Fit Mom and Kids Yoga" video, the instructor leads a family-friendly sun salutation flow. She provides step‑by‑step verbal cues for each movement: raising arms on inhale, transitioning to forward folds with emphasis on moving only to discomfort, rolling up, repeating arm circles, moving into a crouch, stepping or jumping onto all fours for a plank with a neutral spine, lowering into Chaturanga with elbows tucked, resting in baby cobra on the elbows, and finally extending into full cobra on the palms. Throughout, she stresses safety, proper alignment, and encourages participants to listen to their bodies, creating an accessible yoga practice for both parents and children.

Chapters

We're going to get into our sun salutations next. So we're going to bring our arms all the way up, inhaling, bring them to chest level, and then from here we're going to bring the arms all the way around. And we're gonna forward fold. So tuck in your bellies and reach as far down as you can, only to the point of discomfort and not pain. And then slowly roll up and bring those arms around once again. Bring your hands to chest level and then bring them all the way around again. Forward fold, reach for the ground, and slowly coming back. This time, we're gonna take it to the floor. So bring your hands back together and then slowly bring those arms all the way around. You're gonna forward fold. Forward fold one more time. From here, we're gonna crouch down and then you're gonna come down on all fours into a plank. You can either jump or stand, either one is fine, just be safe. And we're gonna hold for a second in plank where you have a flat back, a neutral spine. We're gonna keep our bottoms down and our bellies tucked in and then we're gonna go into Chaturanga. So you're gonna lower down, elbows facing back until you hit the ground. We're gonna go into little baby cobra pose next, so you can rest on your elbows. Great job, you guys, holding it here. And then we're gonna go into full cobra, so you're gonna come onto the palms of your hands. Good, and press up.
