There are many benefits to incorporating yoga into our children’s lives.  Yoga for young children develops body awareness, language, good listening skills, cooperation and powers of observation.  It teaches pre-kindergarten children about nature, their environment and inspires their imaginations.  They learn by playing, singing, moving and imitating.   Looking at the smiling faces below, it’s clear that FUN may be reason we love it!

Building, Writing, Recognizing

We used blocks, chalkboards, and pictures to explore the letter K and the /k/ sound.

Creating

We created the letter K with our bodies during yoga today. we brainstormed words that start with /k/. Ask your preschooler about our Electric Circle from yoga relaxation today!

We are raising children in such a busy world with busy parents, video games, and competitive sports.  These influences can be stressful to our little ones over a long period of time.  This busy pace can have a large impact on their inner joy-usually not for the better.  Children’s yoga can help counter these pressures by learning self-health and relaxation techniques.  Early yoga can also act as a physical activity that is not competitive.  Children learn body awareness; enhance flexibility, coordination and strength.  Yoga also encourages better concentration and an improved sense of calmness and relaxation.  We thought this was a great way to end the year!

As a preschooler, the letters M and N are very tricky to decipher between.  Building the letter N first, along with working on the /n/ sound, helps to transition to building the letter M.  The /m/ sound is best described by rubbing your tummy and saying “mmmmmm.”  The children enjoy learning this one! We also had lots of fun stretching our bodies and learning new yoga poses with Miss Laurel today!
