When I think about teaching mindfulness to young children, my mind jumps to the importance of practicing gratitude. When we are in the mindset of appreciating experiences, we increase our ability to notice the good in the ‘ordinary’. What a gift that ability is.

DISCLAIMER: All parents are superhero’s for surviving the first weeks with a newborn- period. Truly, you are incredible for bringing a new life into the world. Give yourself grace if you need it, and most importantly- give yourself the same level of love that you feel for your new babe (as impossible as that may seem!).

Here are some of my tried and true methods to teach yoga to children!

1. Play a yoga game such as Downward Dog Tag or Musical Yoga. How to play Downward Dog Tag: Have your child or student come into downward dog pose and play a game of tag holding this pose. P.s… this is an awesome warm up game!
