Good Afternoon!
We welcomed Miss Colleen into our classroom today as she lead a yoga session. Children had the option to come to the carpet but within five minutes, all of our friends were participating.
One of the first activities children participated in was saying their name, age, and something that makes them happy once it was their turn.
Children followed directions and moved their bodies in a specific manor. Miss Colleen read us a story about how different animals move. After the story was complete, children pretended to be certain animals by doing a specific pose and the corresponding noises.
Towards the end, each child got a stuffed animal that they balanced on their head. This was challenging as not only did they have to balance it but also practice deep breathing. A collapsible ball made its round throughout the group and when the ball when out and in, children mimicked their breathing to match the balls movement.
Once Miss Colleen was done, several friends requested her to keep going! We didn’t want it to end!
Below is a short article about yoga and how it’s beneficial for children!
