Sleep Big Bear Yoga
Winter lesson plans would not be complete without a Hibernation Theme, which is a great way to introduce the idea of the resting and stillness component of yoga to children. I found another great library book which I got to use in some of my classes last week.
SLEEP, BIG BEAR, SLEEP by Maureen Wright is an amusing tale of a bear who confuses all of Old Man Winter’s warnings to go to sleep with some silly mixed up instructions, like Drive a Jeep, Dive Deep, Climb a Mountain Steep…which takes him on a wild and wacky adventure!
There are lots of yoga poses and fun movements in the book, including:
BUMBLE BEE BREATH
RABBIT POSE
RIDING A JEEP
SWEEPING THE HOUSE

and more…
Of course the best part of the book is when the bear finally hears Old Man Winter yell
“IT’S WINTERTIME, NOW GO TO BED!“
This is also the perfect lead in to SAVASANA, where the children got to experience some quiet time to rest their bodies and minds like the bear. To ease them out of relaxation time, I asked children to give themselves a BIG BEAR HUG while turning over to come into fetal position.
The book was a big hit with the kids and we all had lots of laughs and yoga fun!

Sticker Yoga Fun
STICKERS ARE FUN!
I remember having a sticker collection when I was a kid and begging my mom for a pack of stickers whenever we went to the stationery store. To this day, I still love using stickers to make gift wrapping and card giving special.
That’s why one of my favorite (and most inexpensive) props for my yoga classes are stickers.
They come in a variety of shapes and characters…and kids love ’em!! You can use stickers to teach any yoga theme …
animals, insects, flowers, trees, transportation, dinosaurs, super heroes
the possibilities are endless…
Every state has its own requirements for getting their love-life on the track: Treatment options: A person with erectile dysfunction humiliate to discuss the matter about http://frankkrauseautomotive.com/page/2/?s&post_type=cars_for_sale&car=1&stock&search_condition&search_make&search_year&search_model&search_dropdown_Min_price=0&search_dropdown_Max_price=0&search_dropdown_tran&s order sildenafil his doctor hence this problem remain undiagnosed.

The most common reason buying that purchase viagra online seems to be our faulty lifestyle.
Stickers are also great for special occasions like Valentine’s Day, Easter or Christmas and make an extra special treat for the kids to take something home from yoga class!
The best part about stickers is that you find them at your local Dollar Store or Target in the seasonal or stationery aisle. Here are some I found at Dollar Tree for Valentine’s Day!
Stickers make for a super easy lesson plan because each child gets to choose their favorite sticker and lead the class in the yoga pose. Sometimes they even get to make up their own poses for animals that are not a yoga pose and that is sure to bring lots of laughs!
Part of the fun of teaching yoga is remembering the simple things that put a smile on a child’s face.
