As we introduce our kids to yoga, we’re giving them the gift of a lifetime. Yoga is a practice that they can benefit from now—as they increase body awareness and coping skills, and later—as a system of movement, mental health, and spirituality. To get them started right, we recommend the Brentwood Home Organic Non-Slip Yoga Mat. It’s made from 100% organic certified cotton, meaning you can feel great about them rolling around on it. Even better—it’s washable for those inevitable spills.

Because kids’ yoga is much more about mindfulness and body awareness than working up to handstand, you can turn up the comfort of their blossoming practice with the Brentwood Home Buckwheat Yoga Bolster Cushion. Filled with all-natural buckwheat hulls and held by a 100% organic cotton liner, it’s the kind of soft your kiddos will love resting their head on as they discover the bliss of savasana.

For this practice, your kids will need a yoga mat and a bolster (or pillow of any kind). Trust that with Juanina’s guidance, your children are in the best hands. With fun tree pose shapes and unicorn variations—don’t be surprised if your kids return to this practice over and over. And for everybody’s benefit, we hope they do!

Welcome to mbg moves! We’ve been working out at home more than ever lately—and we know our readers are, too. To help keep your fitness routine feeling fresh, we’re releasing a new at-home workout every Monday to start your week off strong. Each month will feature routines from a different incredible trainer we adore. Now, let’s get moving with our spotlight trainer: Suki Clements.

There are so many benefits to moving your body regularly. It increases energy, supports your mental health, promotes heart and brain health, and so much more. Another value to exercising? It promotes longevity. In fact, many studies have associated regular exercise, even in the form of small daily movements, with a longer life span.

One valuable type of fitness to focus on, in order to keep your body moving for many years to come, is balance exercises. That’s why I put together this full-body workout which focuses on building balance, strength, and stability. Each exercise is designed to help your body with mobility and range of motion—to feel really empowered in your body, and promote fitness longevity.

All you need is a light set of weights (which are totally optional) and a mat for this beneficial practice. It’s all about balance, right?

Your 4-week challenge: For the next month, I’ll be sharing some fantastic strength-focused routines you can do from home. Each workout is a culmination of my experience as a movement artist, yoga teacher, and fitness professional—consider these sculpting workouts your 2.0 yoga flows. I encourage you to make these routines part of your weekly workout schedule two to three times per week to feel all the mind and body benefits.

After a long day of working at a desk or spending hours on your feet—there’s really nothing like winding down with a calming, back-supporting yoga flow.

That’s why I created this gentle, restorative routine. This flow is fantastic to do if you suffer from back pain—and even if you don’t, it’s still a wonderful flow to open up the back, create space in the spine, and relax your whole body. In fact, I love doing this 12-minute flow right before bed, to help my body wind down, and prepare for rest.

Ready to give it a try? All you need is a yoga mat, a yoga block, and a few minutes for some blissful relief.

As humans, we tend to hold a lot of tension and stress in our hips. That’s even more relevant right now, after a particularly stressful year.

That’s why I created this quick yoga flow, specifically designed to help open up your body and release those tight hips. We’re going to move through a series of hip-opening poses, and really focus on promoting mobility in your body.

I also encourage you to be very gentle and patient with yourself during this practice. You might not be exactly where you want to be at this moment—and it’s absolutely okay to take modifications as needed for your body. Just know that every tiny movement is helping you work towards better flexibility and mobility.
