For many, the passage into Autumn means a shift from Summer to the academic year. That passage is marked by changes of season. Long days and short nights turn to shorter days and longer nights. Summer days may have been filled with recreation, camp, family, and travel. Now schools days are filled with academics, homework, extracurricular activities, and busy schedules.

With all the changes, some students and families experience anxiety, stress, and difficulty balancing all they need to do. 

Our Autumn Yoga Sequence can help yoga practitioners of all ages to feel a deeper sense of balance within. 

With yoga and mindfulness, kids can become more calm, focused in school, and empowered to start every day with confidence and compassion.

Explore the benefits of Yoga and Mindfulness

• More self-awareness
• Improved focus
• Attunement to nature
• Experience in mindfulness with real-world context 
• Fun
• Promotes physical and mental wellbeing
• Improved balance 

Lesson Plans for Teachers and Parents

In our Educator’s edition, we provide 3 easy-to-follow curriculums for teachers, parents, and anyone else that works with children (split by age: young kids, kids, and tweens). 

Each lesson plan is formatted to teach an entire class and includes:

• Facilitated discussion prompts
• Group activities
• Yoga movement 
• Guided relaxations
• Crafts

Also included are:

• Printable yoga deck to learn five (5) yoga poses
• Tips for yoga and yoga card games
• Four (4) Autumn mindfulness activities
• Five (5) coloring pages 
• An Autumn story to integrate the yoga poses for literacy integration
• Journaling pages to reflect on your practice

Learn and Move with our Yoga Cards

Learn five (5) yoga poses. Written for kids, each card comes with easy-to-follow illustrations and step-by-step instructions.  In this resource, the yoga cards come in two variations: one with instructions and another version without text, which is perfect for new readers and people that may have special needs.

This Autumn yoga deck is the perfect way to de-stress and share yoga and mindfulness with children!

Practice anywhere! Use this deck at home, school, park, or when traveling! Add to your peace corner, play yoga games, practice individual poses or as a full sequence. 

Add Mindfulness to your Routine

Research shows that mindfulness can improve executive functions in their brain like cognitive control, working memory, cognitive flexibility, and better grades.

We’ve added four (4) Autumn mindfulness activities to teach your children how to manage their emotions and be present. These Fall-themed activities will get your kids excited about the changing seasons while developing their own mindfulness practice.

Also included are five (5) coloring pages of the poses so kids can mindfully color while learning the poses and a journal so they can reflect on their practice.

The Autumn Sequence is a 44-page PDF download which you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print out onto paper. We recommend cutting out each card and taping/gluing on a 4x6 index card or card stock. For added durability, laminate each card. 

Made for educators, yoga teachers, and people leading children's yoga in any setting

Includes three (3) specially designed yoga lesson plans that can be taught to kids ages 2-7, 7-11 and 11-14.

This unit is geared towards preschoolers but may be appropriate for some kindergartners as well. If you're looking for more advanced activities, the Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Unit - Elementary School is adaptable for all elementary levels.

The Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Unit is part of my Field Trip Unit Series. The series was created with homeschoolers in mind, but can be adapted to be used in a classroom as well. Field trips are a great way to supplement learning, but often homeschoolers don’t get any background information on the location of their field trip and want to enrich their experience by expanding the learning at home before and after the trip. These units help give information and fun activities before and after the field trip.

These units are available in PreK/Kinder, Elementary, and Middle & High School levels. All Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Units follow the same outline and the parent/teacher info sheet is the same for all three so that if you have children of several ages, you can seamlessly teach them together. Homeschooling parents and teachers taking multiple grades on the trip can easily combine different units. Check out all of the levels below, as well as a money saving bundle.
