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.
