When it comes to a favorite pose in yoga, kids are ALL about their favorites. Teens? Crow pose or half moon. Tweens? Partner poses, like double downward dog, for sure. Little yogis? A cute butterfly pose or balancing in tree.

Double downward dog, anyone? Little yogis? Balancing in boat, flower or crane pose. But the most challenging pose of all? It's the simplicity of unwinding. Of just allowing themselves to lie back, relax, and let go.

Read MoreThey say that if you put in 50%, you get 50% out. Put in 100%? Get 100% out. It's ALL about the effort. But to kids, while this concept sounds good, it really hits home when they experience it. And when kids experience themselves growing, changing, accomplishing new things...it can be a total game changer.
