Outstanding Features

The elements of fitness, warm-up, strength, flexibility, balance, rest poses, games, and cool down, visualization and relaxation are all built into the Kids Yoga class. The creative features such as positive affirmations (positive statements or declarations about yourself), help release negativity and tension while building self-esteem. Traditional Hatha yoga poses are related to elements in nature or various animals. Breath awareness, such as sounds (cats meowing), singing, or games related to fitness and fun, such as Frozen Yoga, are incorporated in this printable course.

 

Children love making fun formations. With this course, you can learn to teach them how to form a boat by incorporating the Boat pose while singing, "Row, row, row your boat," into an imaginary jungle.

 

Partner poses can be added to the class for variety along with stories, and imaginary trips to a zoo or other exciting places. Children in day care, kindergarten, elementary school, summer camps and at home will learn to demonstrate poses in front of his/her classmates, which cultivates courage, self-esteem and support from other children, with lots of hand clapping! Every class ends with rest, breath awareness and visualizations to cultivate body awareness, the gift of yoga and mind-body union.
