I usually teach three to five new poses per class, depending on the age and experience of the group. Asana (physical postures) – we review some of the poses from last week and learn new ones to use in this week‘s games.If they are in high anticipation the entire time, it can be hard to focus.
I find that the children settle more easily when they know what to expect. We always follow a similar format for each class. This was the train of thought that led to the inspiration for the heart yoga class I taught to a group of eight and nine year olds today. Perhaps I can’t save my daughter from her lessons, but I can share with her every tool in my thirty-something arsenal so that this tough time in her life doesn’t become something that defines her. Yoga, meditation, affirmation, stillness and spending time with kind people who make me laugh. How does this thirty-one-year-old deal with heart pain (after learning the wrong ways to do it for many years)? This realization causes me to ask myself, “Self, what is the most important lesson you’ve learned from emotional pain?”Īnd I answer, “Processing it so I don’t hold onto it or make my life a shrine to it or make myself sick with it.” No matter how much I love her, I cannot save her from her lessons. Something I’ve learned along the way: I have no control over how she learns her lessons. There’s nothing more painful than watching your child have her feelings hurt. My six-year-old daughter is having bully trouble at school. Erin details each step of her lesson plan to make it easy to bring this nourishing practice to your children. She shares her Heart Yoga Class Plan with us in honor of Valentine’s Day. Please meet our guest writer, Erin McDonald, a kids yoga teacher living in British Columbia, Canada.
