The tree pose challenges how hard it can be to stand on one leg. It requires a lot of concentration and focus in order to complete the task. It may take a couple tries for your child to be able to master this move but the fun is in the effort that they place into the move.

“I am kind.” Pretend to be a tree.
To do Tree Pose: Stand on one leg, bend your knee, place the sole of your foot on the opposite inner thigh, and balance. Sway like a tree. Think of trees being kind by offering shade, creating oxygen, and providing homes to animals.
