There are many yoga poses that are suitable for kids, and incorporating fun and creative names for the poses can help keep kids engaged and interested. Here are a few examples of yoga poses that kids might enjoy:

In this pose, kids stand tall with feet together, then lift one foot and place it on the opposite thigh, pressing the foot into the thigh while balancing on the standing leg. It can help improve balance and focus.

Butterfly Pose: 

Sitting on the floor, kids bring the soles of their feet together and gently press their knees towards the ground, while keeping their back straight. It can help improve flexibility in the hips and groin.
