Asanas del Santuario: ¡Yoga de flujo lento para niños compasivos!

Children will learn a short asana flow (physical practice) with engaging, accessible movement and a short Savasana meditation at the end. Most of the asanas are related to specific animals, and the children will get to channel the personality and quirks of that animal in every shape. This class includes a slideshow of real animal images all the way through, with live video of me guiding the children through the shapes alongside the photos. This helps children who learn best with active, changing, colourful visuals to help their imagination. If they find this distracting and would rather see just me, please try out my similar Animal Asanas class. 

My teaching style is inquiry-based and learner-centred. I am dedicated to accessibility and inclusivity. Thus every shape is optional and can be modified for all abilities. The class begins and ends with a verbal check-in, and my language is invitational. In the middle, learners will be on mute but are welcome and encouraged to come off mute and ask questions any time. 

No prior yoga or meditation experience is required. Stretchy and/or loose clothing is a must. It is best of children can come with a mat, but this is not necessary. Carpet, a towel, or grass is good as well. A strap or blanket and a pillow or block is helpful but not required. 

This class is small to make sure I am able to check in individually with everyone, observing and responding to their practice. While this is a One-Time class, children who would like more may enrol in my Ongoing class following this one.

I noticed recently there are a lot of searches on Outschool for “mindfullness.” (Note spelling.) I am adding this word into my description to make sure the class appears for “mindfullness” as well as “mindfulness.”
