More than $20 1st Grade Lesson (by date, oldest first)

Imagine an academic year where students and educators alike grow, learn more about themselves and others, integrating mindful activities seamlessly throughout the school day. 

Imagine a classroom that is regulated, calm and present. 
Everything you need in one product. 
When practiced regularly, witness improved behavior outcomes, social skills, and overall social-emotional development of students.
We know you don’t want to have to learn another initiative.
We know you want something that works.
We know you don’t have a lot of time to spare.
Believe me, working in schools the past 17 years has taught me that educators need proven techniques that they can use simply.
We have your back and we understand the pressures of time, testing, busyness, distraction, and stress!
If you can do a little each day for yourself and your class, you will see the shift happen.

What does the shift look like?
It's returning to focus with less drama and emotional outbursts.
It’s putting a pause between impulse and action...in other words, self-control.
It’s freeing up your time from behavior management to connect with students.
It's easier transitions.
It’s learning along with your students, growing together.
It's your students feeling your love and presence.

In yoga, the Yamas & Niyamas are a moral code of conduct, a guideline for how to live. Together, the Yamas & Niyamas help us to make careful decisions about how to think, speak, and behave. This foundational thinking prepares children to form healthy relationships with themselves and others.

This bundle includes two (2) lesson units:

1. Yamas & Niyamas Teen Unit is 47-page PDF download directed at teenagers
2. Yamas & Niyamas Kid Unit is a 48-page PDF download directed at kids ages 7-11

Both units are a PDF download which you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print out onto paper.

This bundle contains twenty (20) lesson plans that can be used as a yoga class series, or easily incorporated into the school classroom. Adults can facilitate conversations, games, activities, and yoga experiences that give children concrete information about each of the Yamas & Niyamas.  

Each lesson plan breaks down one of the Yamas or Niyamas and includes; introduction to that specific core value, a discussion guide, small group work or activity, breathing exercises and yoga poses to challenge and engage children.

How can kids benefit from learning about the yamas and niyamas? Our founder Lara Hocheiser discusses how to apply the principles of yamas and niyamas to children ages 7-11 in Yamas and Niyamas Webinar for Kids.

Teachers tell me they can't integrate yoga and mindfulness for two reasons: They don't know how and they don't have time. I hear that 100%.

This product is made to help you SAVE time, but first, you have to invest your time. If you spend ten minutes a day, 3 times a week in September and October, by November you only spend 5 minutes, and by January kids are doing this all by themselves. You can learn it together and then you ALL get the skills! Imagine that! Imagine the time you will save not micro-managing behavior.

A colleague and first-grade teacher name Nicole did just as I described above and her class was lightyears more manageable by mid-year than the other groups. People would comment about how quietly they walked in the hallway and how quickly they transitioned from activity to activity. She invested the time and was paid back in dividends. I developed this product to help others share in Nicole's success.

Together, we can use yoga and mindfulness to learn about and take care of our bodies.

Social-emotional learning and self-awareness can be learned using this product. Think of the responsible decisions children can begin to make when we help them connect the dots inward and outward.

Commit to this lesson unit to help your students become more aware of their bodies as you guide them to make mindful connections between how body parts may feel and how can we care for ourselves. Explore ten (10) key body parts and how we can use body awareness to learn about our bodies and emotions while gaining valuable exercise. Each body part has accompanying yoga poses, mindful activities, and facilitated discussion prompts.

The Empower and Calm Teacher Bundle is made for educators, parents, and anyone doing yoga with children!

Give your students the tools to exercise and check-in with their mind and body.

Introducing the Empower and Calm Yoga Bundle, aimed at getting kids moving while learning about self-awareness and boosting self-esteem. 

This bundle includes three (3) yoga units and two (2) yoga card decks geared at empowering, energizing, and strengthening our bodies and minds.
