What's New This June?
Hello families and ah-mazing educators!
It's June, it's cold and it's time for all of us to forget the cold outside and imagine the sun high in the sky and we have warm sand between our toes!
Join me in this imagining as I share with you what yoga happenings have been happening in childcare centres all over Melbourne this month!
Our yogi adventure theme IS:
Mindful Magic Manners!
How we will breathe...
With Bubble breath! Take a big breathe in through your nose, and blow an enormous bubble, by blowing air through your lips using a big slow breathe out. This a great exercise for calming the parasympathetic nervous system!
How we will move our bodies!
This month's yoga pose is the Surfer Pose or Warrior 2! This pose makes us feel great as we move and stretch our body!
The benefits of Warrior 2 include -
Children feel present and stress-free as they move
Little ankles and legs build strength
Little tummies are stimulated
Stretches our whole body including our lungs
Makes our chest, shoulders and back feel great!
Want to know HOW to do this pose with your Little Sprouts in the classroom or at home? Let me know!
What percussion and sounds we will use!
A big WHOOOSH together as we glide on our surf boards over waves!
What music are we listening to?!

Keep warm this month and if I am performing at your childcare centre or school - I look forward to seeing you all soon!
