Slow Down Yoga

Description

More and more these days, kids lead over-scheduled lives, and just like adults, they too can get overwhelmed and stressed out. YoPlay Yoga For Kids’ Lesson Plan, “Slow Down Yoga” is a restorative themed flow providing a much needed break from the overactivity of everyday life.

In Restorative Yoga, poses are held for longer periods of time.  The intention of this style of Yoga is to achieve a deeper relaxation physically, mentally, and emotionally.  Props, such as Yoga blocks, blankets, bolsters, and eye pillows are often used to help accomplish a more profound state of stillness.  The overall tone and intention of the class is quiet, calm, and nourishing.

This original YoPlay Yoga For Kids Lesson Plan contains easy to follow, step-by-step instructions.   Written by YoPlay Yoga For Kids® Founder, Jen Byer, she’ll show you how to infuse this “Slow Down Yoga” Restorative Yoga theme into a class, specifically designed for 3-9  year olds.
