Peace Begins Inside

In honor of Martin Luther King’s Birthday, this week’s theme in my classes was PEACE.

I have been meaning to try one on Todd Parr’s books in my classes and found this awesome one called The Peace Book.

peacebook

The colorful, quirky illustrations really capture the spirit of diversity and each page has a positive message about the many ways we can create PEACE in the world.

We began with a discussion about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  The children shared about his “dream” for all people to get along and be nice to each other.  I explained that we could help this dream of peace come true by finding that peaceful place INSIDE through our yoga, OMs, breathing and meditation.

The book has lots of YOGA POSES:
My kids are happy to play cards, video games or viagra samples watch DVDs on their laptops. Sildenafil citrate generic cialis from canada belongs to family called phosphodiesterease-5 blocker. The remedy is lowest prices viagra with success provided by qualified on-line preparation programs. viagra without prescriptions usa The most common side effects include headaches, indigestion, flushing and a runny nose.
We swam like Sharks and  Fish, splashed with our Elephant trunks, slithered around like Snakes, barked in Downward, Upward and 3 Legged Dog, turned into a Buttefly (caterpillar), stretched out while Painting the Sky, offered a HUG to a friend and more… It was so cute to see the children expressing their love for one another.

peace is being different

The message at the end is that each one of us can help make the world a better place!

After SAVASANA, I played Elizabeth Mitchell’s Peace Like a River, which is a catchy, beautiful song that can be done with actions for younger children (see video below).  For the last verse, we all held hands and made a CIRCLE of PEACE. I let them know that we can share the PEACE we have insdie with everyone around us and create PEACE in the world.

A Perfect SNOWY Day!

perfect day book

We has some more Snowy Yoga Fun with this great book A Perfect Day by Carin Berger.

On another trip to my local library (where I have been spending some time perusing the children’s books like I used to as a child), I discovered this great book to use in my classes this week.  It never ceases to amaze me how a simple book can turn my yoga classes into a magical field trip to wild and wonderful places! Children just love it when they get to go out on a winter adventure even in the warmth & coziness of their own classroom…

We started class with a Winter’s Breath…I asked the children to take a deep breath in and place their hands out in front of their faces so they could feel the warm air as they exhaled.  Then we did a cute SNOWFLAKE MOVEMENT warm-up where we pretended to move and twirl and fall like snowflakes to the ground to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star which can be found on the Intellidancing Youtube page.

The illustrations in A Perfect Day have a vintage collage and playful feel to them and the kids loved all the fun winter activities and yoga poses we got to explore together.

Here are just some of the fun YOGA POSES and MOVEMENTS they loved:

MOUNTAIN

Skiing in CHAIR

DOWNWARD DOG and UPWARD DOG
