Yep! Back to school time is upon us!!! This is always a fun and eventful and sometimes stressful time; trying to get our little ones back on track with a whole new school year. Juggling new after-school activities, also making our own deadlines for work, while managing the household - it can be easy to feel a little overwhelmed as we try to juggle a whole bunch of different balls. But we want to remind you as you juggle... that juggling can be fun! Imagine being at a circus, watching a clown bringing the crowd to life with laughter and tears as he does his extraordinary juggling act! Let's try this! Be silly! Be playful! And know that you can create this playful atmosphere in your home!
And hey, let us help you! We have put together a super exciting Back to school event today Saturday August 25th!
YOGA POSE OF THE MONTH: WARRIOR 1
Set-up
Step your right foot forward
Your right heal is aligned with your left arch
Back your right knee
Your knee should point in the same direction as your toes
Reach your arms to the sky
Silly cues for learning
You are a powerful warrior!
You can conquer anything you focus your mind on!
Fun games for teaching
Yoga Freeze Dance
Proud Warrior Song
YOGA & MINDFULNESS GAME OF THE MONTH:
Little Monkeys
Purpose:
Releases energy and teaches mindfulness.
Instructions:
We thought this would be the perfect exercise for you and your little ones in celebration of Back to School! Not only do we have to get back into juggling schedules, but we're constantly having to juggle our thoughts as well! While playing the Little Monkey Song https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/wee-yogis-connect/id965926616 from Wee Yogis Connect, dance around with your little one and be silly monkeys! And when you freeze, pause and focus, remembering the Second Yoga Sutra about 'stilling the mind.' Try to stop the mind chatter and focus on your breathing and be in the moment!
"My mind has little thoughts
That jump around and jump around and jump around
Like little monkeys non-stop
But if I practice yoga, I can make them calm
If I practice yoga, I can make them stop"
You can learn more about these and other activities at www.weeyogis.com - which will also include our teacher training dates and videos for the kids!
