If you do not have the option to move to a large space to practice yoga, try having kids use the space around them- including chairs.


Contrary to popular belief, you do not need a ton of room to practice. Of course, lots of room is preferable but sometimes this isn't an option and you just have to work with what you’ve got.


Use your chairs to help support you in poses and help you balance. Chairs are also a great way to let kids know where their space is-instead of having Susie arguing that Johnny was in her space.
