I have recently fallen in love with yoga after my kids went to a music camp where they were introduced to yoga in the theater/drama rotation of the camp. My little guy, who is a quite emotionally connected with the world, received kudos from his teacher for being "in tune" with nature especially b/c he is only 3. That led me to a search for myself and them, and I discovered a show called "Power Yoga" on the ION Life station {I had never visited this station before}, and can honestly say that I am a little bit OBSESSED! I LOVE YOGA! Needless to say I am still a unbalanced & not limber newbie yogi FO SHO!
With this newfound love, I remembered a yoga YouTube channel for kids that I had seen 6+ months ago: Cosmic Kids Yoga
What is Cosmic Kids Yoga? In Jamie's own words, "Yoga, stories & fun." So Jamie, the yoga guru and great story teller, leads viewers through a series of yoga moves & poses while going on fantastical adventures and ending with relaxation. My {personal} kids LOVE it! My daughter even writes yoga "scripts" where she introduces herself and shows poses, "Hi, my name is Violet and I am going to do yoga." This isn't just for home.... it can TOTALLY be done in the classroom too! I hope to use it this coming year on rainy {or full moon, HA!} days where kids need to release pent up energy, while ending in a calm mood. Doesn't that sound relaxing?!
Now if you want to get started you have to say the secret yoga code word, "Namaste."
Check out this sampling of episodes:
