Senae Smith, Children's Yoga Instructor

We used the book I Am Yoga for inspiration and wrote affirmations and drew our favorite yoga poses in yoga club this week.

What a beautiful week this has been! We tie-dyed t-shirts, painted rocks, made meditation bracelets, calming glitter jars, and thank-you cards, played lots of fun yoga based games, had meditations each day, practiced lots of breathing exercises, learned new words like proprioceptive awareness, spontaneity, and equanimity, learned how to energize when tired and calm down when we’d like to, sang, recited affirmations, read some fun books, and laughed and laughed and laughed. It was good for all of us, and I’m grateful for all these kids who showed up with enthusiasm each day and to their parents who made it happen for them.

“You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.” - John Kabat-Zinn Tuesday’s lesson was about equanimity. We did balance challenges, learned an energizing breath and a calming breath, did a mirroring activity, and played a steel tongue drum as a form of relaxation.
