My learning project work continues this week! Here is the finished product:
A few weeks ago, my dear friend Emily came by. I had asked her to help me explore some kids yoga practices with me and my two kids. In my learning project (kids yoga) one of the big insights I have had is this:
Practicing yoga with kids is so much better with friends!
In fact, having a high adult to child ratio when exploring yoga with kids will make a practice go smoother, easier, and allow for more 1:1 attention for the littles – especially when you are working with younger children.
This advice applies both in the classroom, and at home…the more support available for children, the better!
For this video, I used a few apps:
Here are a few helpful handouts and links on breathing exercise with kids:

Wow Dani, your finished product looks amazing! Your kids are adorable & it looks like they really enjoyed your yoga activity! Thanks for sharing those other resources as well, I’ll be sure to take a look and add them to my collection.
Hi Sydney,
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch it and for your feedback! It is so sweet!
Take care,
Dani
Dani, This looks like you put a lot of hard work into your finished product! It turned out amazing! I had no idea that 1:1 ratios when doing yoga with children was beneficial! This will be a good thing to remember and like Sydney said thank you for sharing all of the resources! Great additions to collected teacher resources.
I loved your post and the video you incorporated with it! Bubbles can be so calming and exciting at the same time. Bubbles are also a great way to get children focused on what they are doing since blowing bubbles is so fascinating. Thanks for sharing all these resources in your post!
