Summer Classes for Kids Yoga

Brownie Troop Yoga Fun

What a great group of Brownies I taught last night!  They sure are a bunch of giggle boxes!  So cute and so fun!  Here are few pictures from the class.  Hope you enjoy!

Another Great Yoga class with Daisies!

Last week I had another chance to teach an energetic group of Daisies YOGA!  The theme was a Picnic in the Park and we had a pretend picnic with poses and visualized all the other things we might see and do in the park on a beautiful spring day!  What fun and what great imaginations!  Here are a few pictures from the night!

Daisies Yoga

Last week I had a GREAT time teaching yoga to a group of 11 Daisies!  Each time I teach a new group of kids, I learn things myself.  They always come up with new poses and new ways of looking at things. I love the fresh ideas!  I have yet to find a kid that does not enjoy yoga.  These girls were no exception!

 Here is the group in Downward Dog!  They are naturals at it!

 Here we are making a zipper with our bodies!  Each time one of the girls giggled, their bellies made the other girls head bounce up and down and the giggles continued up and down the chain just like a zipper!  So much fun!!  :-)

Here is a bunch of little cobras stretching their faces towards the warm sun!  Their little spines are so flexible (unlike mine).  ;-)

This coming week I am looking forward to teaching another group of Daisies on Tuesday night!  Can't wait!!

First Presbyterian Church Youth Club Yoga Night

This past Tuesday night I had the privilege of teaching yoga to about 55 first through 5 graders.  I truly enjoyed teaching these kids.  We started out discussing what yoga is and what the benefits of doing yoga are.  We started with Sun Salutations and went on to learning a majority of the basic poses.  We played Yoga Ball and ended in Shavasana (the pose of rest).  Remarkably, Shavasana was their favorite part.  All of the kids, with the exception of maybe 2, laid still on the floor for 5+ minutes and were able to relax.  I talked them through a meditation sequence and I believe they were all able to let go and quiet their minds.  Here is a picture of the Yoga Ball I made!  My kids love it and so did the Youth Club kids at my church.

The kids passed the ball and whichever pose was closest to their right thumb was the pose we all did in the circle.  Lots of fun!

If you would like to have me come and do yoga for your group or organization, you can contact via email at stacy.daniels9@gmail.com .

Namaste!

Consider Having a Certified Yoga Instructor Teach at your Group or Organization!!

While I am trying to finalize some class offerings you may want to consider having me come to teach a yoga class or 2 at your group or organization.  I am scheduled to teach to a few Girl Scout Troops and would love to come and share yoga with the kids in your group as well.  Girls and boys alike really enjoy yoga.  


Yoga improves balance, concentration, self esteem, confidence, social skills, empathy, communication, team work, and self awareness.


Consider a class today and contact me if you have any questions.


Hope to hear from you soon,
Stacy

Benefits of Yoga for Kids (and anyone really!)

All you fellow yogi's out there know how GREAT you feel after taking time for yourself and having a regular yoga practice.  Well, the same affects and more are found by kids who practice yoga.  Here are just some of the benefits of yoga:

• Kids develop self awareness and self regulation skills
• Kids learn to manage stress and alter their moods
• Kids sleep better
• Better digestion
• Better self esteem
• Increased confidence
• Increased creativity
• Comfortable in their own bodies
• Relaxed in their minds

Don't we all want that for our kids and ourselves?  

Enroll your child in a yoga class near you and maybe one for both of you.

Stay tuned to my blog for class schedule coming soon to the Lehigh Valley Area by Child's Play Yoga!!
