De-Stress your Family with Yoga & Mindfulness During the Holidays!

This time of year is a bit nutty for everyone. Whether you celebrate the holidays or not, its just a super busy time. For those who celebrate holidays with gift giving, it’s just an extra added stress. We have been feeling it big time over here in our house. I have been using a few really sweet de-stressing tools with the kids these last few weeks and wanted to share. 5 Awesome Ways to De-Stress Your Family During the Holidays! 1) Focus Jars (aka- calming down bottles & glitter jars)– These bottles are so much fun to make and even more fun to use. They are all the rage on pinterest!    To Make:  ~Just get yourself a small mason jar, Ice sparkling water bottle or baby food jar ~Wisk glitter glue into some hot water ~Add extra glitter, sequins, etc (you can get small packets at Michaels!) ~Pour glitter… Read More »

Mother’s Day Yoga

At one of the schools where I teach, every year we do Mother’s Day yoga. It’s my favorite classes of the year! Both the kids and parents love it, and I love it because I actually get to meet the moms of kids I teach all year. Some I’ve been teaching for the last 3 years. And besides, it’s super sweet for all parties involved. Here is the Mother’s Day sequence I did this year: 1) Name Stretch: We do a little rhyme – movement activity where we stretch in all different ways to say hello to everyone. Who doesn’t love to hear their name said out loud and get to stretch your body in the meantime!? 2) Partner Breath: The moms put their hands on the kids back, then we switch.

Rainbow Yoga!

This month my theme is Rainbow yoga. I love when I start a themed class at the beginning of a month and see how it evolves with all my classes. This sequence works great for a 20 or 30 min preschool class.  1) Breathing ball! I always love to start with the breathing ball– especially because it’s rainbow colored.2) Paint a rainbow – Glue your bottom to the mat. Raise one arm out to the side and reach it up over your head to paint a color of the rainbow over your head. Go back and forth from side to side. Let the kids call out the colors of course!Bringing arms behind you, hands on the floor, opening your heart, look up at your beautiful rainbow!3) Roly poly to your feet. What do we need in the sky to happen to make a rainbow? the sun and the rain of… Read More »
