Dedication
To all the kids
I have worked with over the years
Having fun
Learning and growing
I dedicate this book.
Introduction
Yoga for all Kids, Preschoolers to Teens
presents
4 styles of meditation for calming, centering,
and instant stress relief,
then a string of 15 moving yoga poses
that can be followed in order,
or done individually, as time permits.
Next, 18 chapters on how to live social skills, and
40 definitions of happiness in its own little dictionary
completing the book.
The poses are rhythmic
and gentle adaptations of traditional poses,
including forward
and backward bending,
and turning of the torso and head.
Excluded are inverted poses,
and poses that put pressure on neck vertebra.
If needed,
students can work with a partner,
especially at the younger ages.
As yoga is non-competitive,
everyone progresses at their own rate.
Use even breathing:
the in-breath and out-breath
should be the same length of time.
Do not use breath retention.
Breathing is a bridge that ties body to mind;
when breathing is made regular
it calms the physical body.
A note about the illustrations:
The faint vertical line shows
the approximate center of balance.
02Meditations
1. Sitting
03Time: 2 to 10 minutes
Sit up straight,
cross-legged if on the grass,
or if you are indoors,
sit on a pillow on the floor,
or on your bed, or in a chair.
If you sit in a chair
your feet can be on the floor
in front of you.
Hold your hands in your lap
and close your eyes.
Begin to breathe in and out
easily and evenly.
Silently count each breath in as one count,
and each breath out as one count.
Example:
Count 1 on the in-breath;
Count 2 on the out-breath;
Count 3 on the in-breath;
Count 4 on the out-breath.
Do 10 sets of even breathing
until you reach count 20,
then just continue to breathe evenly.
Next, think with appreciation about
the people in your life,
such as your family,
friends, and teachers.
Thinking good thoughts feels good
and rests you mind and body.
