Tipping Star turns Star Pose into a core strengthening yoga activity for kids of all ages! Laugh and have fun as children work on their balance, tip over, and try again.

Watch and help kids to work on both sides. You’ll be amazed at how quickly they learn to hold themselves up, even if it’s just for a few seconds! 

Some of our most popular kids yoga activities that incorporate Tipping Star are our Balancing Series and Harold’s Circus! Both are fun and easy ways to bring yoga into elementary schools, preschool, or yoga class. 

This pose also makes for a fun kite, flying high in the sky, in Let’s Go Fly a Kite!

Step 1
Begin in Star Pose.

Step 2
Keep your neck and back straight, and tip your star to one side, balancing on one leg for as long as you can.

Step 3
Return to Star Pose by placing both feet on the floor.

Step 4
Now tip your star to the other side.

Step 5
When you are ready, return to Star Pose, then step your feet together and lower your arms.
