Dinosaur Yoga (Pre-k – K) I am the mom to a 4 year old boy, which means my whole life revolves around dinosaurs right now. I have to read at least 3 dino books every night- some are stories but most are fact books. I’m learning A LOT but I’m also finding them to be even more incredibly fascinating then ever. Zephyr’s class is now studying about dinos because the kids have shown such an interest. I’m proud to say that Zephyr is teaching his friends so many facts! It’s pretty cute. When I went in to do yoga the other day, I figured it was time to do my dinosaur yoga class. I tweaked it a bit and it really turned out to be pretty fun. I ended up teaching it about 8 more times since then! Dinosaur Yoga Sequence 1) Breathing Ball breath: We need to calm… Read More »
Thankful Yoga
Yogis and teachers like to teach about gratitude and being thankful this time of year. We create classes and activities that are based on these concepts. While we do try to show gratitude and be thankful all year round, I love that this class can be used to do just that. I taught it for the last few weeks to the preschoolers and modified it for the school age kids. I’m going to make sure to do this one at least once a season, we can never show too much gratitude for what we have and can always use the reminder. Thankful Yoga Sequence for Preschoolers: We start off talking about how lucky we are to have what we have, bodies that work, good food, homes, etc. Does everyone? Nope. You can go deeper into the concepts I’ve shared, or keep it brief. I’ve just shared the basics and wanted… Read More »
Spooky Haunted House Yoga
This is one of my absolute favorite classes to teach. I hear from kids throughout the year – “Can we go to the spooky haunted house today?” I laugh because I do this class for Halloween and not again throughout the year. I could do it but I think saving it for this month makes it more special. I teach this class to mostly 3-5 yr olds so this is geared towards that age group. It can definitely be done with K-3 as well! Those kids LOVE the scariness and get really into it. I make it way less spooky for 3 yr olds, but take it up a notch as they get older. Spooky Haunted House Yoga Sequence: 1) We put on our imaginary costumes. The kids can put on what they will actually wear, or what they would want to wear. I make a point to tell them… Read More »
