Kathleen Pace, Kids Yoga Program

Grow Yoga Wings is my Kids Yoga Program that I teach for after school programs, pre-school, community centers and kids parties. I am teaching a Kids Yoga class today at Spence's Farm in Chapel Hill NC. It is an enrichment program within the After school Program.
I am excited to meet the kids! I will begin with the the story, The Little Pine Tree. We will review the meaning and the kids will have an opportunity to respond and answer some questions that I pose. I will be showing them how to do a Sun Salutation and how to link their breath to each asana. Then we will play freeze dance yoga style. We will close class reflecting on what we learned and bow to our friends in respect and love for each other. http://www.spencesfarm.com/

The class was a great success! I had two girls that eagerly showed me how they could put their feet behind their head! I was truly amazed at the technique of this group age 5 to 11. Once we began our yoga practice they were very focused on their movements. Next time I will start with movement and do the story toward the end as a wind down before Savasana. When I started the class with introductions and the story, the kids were not able to sit quietly and were ready to move, lesson learned. Most kids I find really love to do the final relaxation at the end of class. There is always 1 or 2 busy bees, and I try to help them let go and relax. The kids were really sleepy at the end of a 90 min class. The 90 min actually worked out well since we did a story, questions, yoga practice, dance and yoga, and final relaxation and breathing.
