I wrote a whole lesson plan that works great with kids ages 4 and up. Using a book like My Many Colored Days is an awesome way to tie this emotional awareness and body movement together in this kids yoga lesson. We want them to be active in new ways, feel connected to their body, and then be able to recognize and deal with the emotions that they are noticing. The theme of discovering your emotions and understanding how they can change and be different from day to day ties in really well with yoga and mindfulness.Įmotional intelligence, self-awareness, and the ability to self-regulate are all goals of yoga and mindfulness with kids.
