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
What’s Included?
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 34-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.
Kids Yoga Winter Sequence Lesson Plan, Pose Card Deck & Journal
By Lara Hocheiser
FREE GIFT with purchase! Get our Winter Yoga Coloring Book for free with purchase*!
For many children, the first thought that comes to mind when winter approaches is “snow day!” The winter can be a time of hibernation as it is cold outside, many extracurricular activities have slowed down, and the days get darker much earlier. When children are cooped up inside, they can become restless and bored quite easily. However, the winter yoga sequence is a great way to promote physical activity and encourage movement during a restless time.
In our Educator’s edition, we provide 3 easy-to-follow curriculums for teachers, parents, and anyone else that works with children. Each curriculum is for a specific age group: young kids, kids and tweens.
The Winter Sequence + Curriculum is a 24 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.
Includes printable yoga deck
Learn 5 yoga poses
Includes additional yoga activity instructions
Includes mandala coloring page for relaxation
Printable journal to reflect on your practice
Three curriculums to educate yogis (split into 3 age-groups)
Perfect for practicing anywhere! Use this deck at home, school, park, or when traveling!
Made for educators, parents, and anyone doing yoga with children!
Includes three specially designed yoga lesson plans that can be taught to kids ages 2-7, 7-11, and 11-14.
