Come fold forward this Satuday from 10-11AM in our last class of the month! If this is your first time here, know that you don't need to BYOM (bring your own mat) as the whole room we occupy is essentially one big 'ol mat that we all get to share!
Had some fun making new friends in today's POP Kids Yoga class. Every class is going to be a little different because we tailor all the activities and time spent on each one depending on the ages and number of kids present to make the most of our hour together!
Come through as we begin our day with getting connected to our thoughts, feelings, and our breath. 🤗

POP Kids Yoga in the Classroom
Today was my first day teaching kids yoga in a classroom/school setting. I work full-time as a paraprofessional at a charter school where I give additional support and individualized instruction to 4th and 5th graders in literacy and mathematics. This month, my school pitched a "Passion Project" in which staff members teach students for an hour 2x a month on a passion of their choice (i.e., poetry, knitting, gardening, coding, cooking, etc.) This was the perfect opportunity for me to integrate my kids yoga teaching experience, so I teamed up with a fellow general education teacher. Together, we took on 26 curious second and third graders and it went awesomely.

Rainbow Kids Yoga 3-day Training

Reminiscing my Rainbow Kids Yoga teacher training. There are many takeaways, but I love the concept that yoga is better TOGETHER, and how important it is to just let loose and have fun!

Last week we partnered up and played, "Guess the letter!" So cool to see how we can bend and stretch our bodies to make something we did not think of before! That's being creative and using our imagination!
