Guided Relaxation for Children
Welcome back to another episode of the Real Yoga for Kids Show!
Last week I talked to you about 3 of the magic ways that great children’s yoga is able to balance energy levels – to leave pretty much all kids feeling calm and relaxed by the end (when taught right!).
How to help children calm down
One of the main reasons I love sharing yoga with children so much, is the incredible effect it has on balancing their energy levels and helping kids calm down.
Yoga for the End of Term!
The Summer Holidays are here, or almost upon us! It’s an exciting yet busy and tiring time for teachers, kids and parents, so make sure you are balancing out all the activity and excitement with some time to stretch, breathe and relax.
Yoga to Unwind
With all the outdoor activities, plus all the excitement of nearing the summer holidays, that many kids are getting right now, everyone is going to benefit from a chance to unwind!
Athletics warm up for kids
It’s Summer time and this month and next I know there are lots of sports days happening and extra time for athletics and games outside! Whilst kids don’t need to warm up and cool down in the same way that adults do (they’re just so springy!), it’s still a great idea to get them into good habits.
Yoga for the Classroom – calm and unwind
At the end of a day, yoga is great for helping children to unwind. It gives them a chance to take a few minutes out of the busy day to focus on themselves. It’s a rare time when children are encouraged to focus their attention inward, rather than outward.
Yoga for the Classroom – Find some Focus, Improve Concentration
I’m sure you know that standing up from our desks and moving helps us to feel more awake and focused… but did you know that giving children the opportunity to regularly stand up in class can actually improve concentration by 12%?!
Yoga for Exams – standing and seated yoga for the classroom, or home
Following on from last week’s video, here’s another class for you to follow around exam time – to help stretch out worries and breathe in confidence!
This class only requires a small amount of space, so it’s ideal for the classroom or your living room! We’ll be doing a few poses standing that get the blood flowing and loosen tight shoulders, then we’ll sit to stretch some more and focus on calming, confidence building breaths.
Yoga for Exam Time, Standing Yoga for the Classroom, or home
Exams might unfortunately be a fact of life – but there are many things that we can do to help make exam time more bearable, even enjoyable!
