11 Ways to Limit Your Child’s Yoga Time
Although unlimited time with yoga may keep your child grounded and filled with joy, too much centeredness isn’t good for kids. But setting limits on how much yoga your child practices or how many mindful, thoughtful actions he/she plays isn’t always easy in today’s wellness world.
Here are 11 tips that will help you limit your child’s yoga time to a reasonable, healthy amount.
1. Model Healthy Yoga Practice
It’s important to role model healthy practices for your children. So before you roll out your mat, remember to set a good example. Keeping high vibrational mantras on all the time or taking long deep breaths any time you have a spare minute teaches your child bad habits. (more…)
On the Same Breath and On the Same Page
We celebrated City Schools of Decatur on the same breath, breathing together, and on the same page, reading together.
We celebrated the success of the first 40 days deep breath initiative in Georgia!
Here’s how we honored On the Same Breath and On the Same Page: A free, open to the public class taught by Carrie Beauchamp, myself and three Renfroe Middle Yoga students-Jillian, Kira and Olivia.
Kenny & the Dragon, by Tony DiTerlizzi is the heartwarming tale about a brave rabbit named Kenny and his literature-loving friend Graeme the dragon. Their friendship inspired us to breath deeper, to receive more clarity, to get better at seeing people for who they are, not what they appear to be.
Kenny is a little rabbit with a very big problem. His two best friends are heading into a battle of legendary proportions—with each other! In one corner there’s Graeme, a well-read and cultured dragon with sophisticated tastes. In the other there’s George, a retired knight and dragon slayer who would be content to spend the rest of his days in his bookshop. Neither really wants to fight, but the village townsfolk are set on it.
Heart Action: Friendship, Leadership, Bravery . Alignment Action: Lift Chest, Open Heart
Breath of Joy. Is there joy in tolerating differences, responsibility, honesty, pacifism and knowledge?
After washing away stains of preconceived differences, we woke up to any parts of us that aren’t aware of our core values.
Wake Up Mountain. We woke up our hearts, our minds, our ears, our voice with strong, heavy golden positive power.
We connected our power.
Our regrets, our set-backs, whatever is holding us down from being brave got kicked out!
Warriors question what isn’t true. With strong stance and open hearts.
Kenny’s book, King’s Royal Bestiary stated all dragons are terrorists. Obviously, his warriorship found that untrue. He had to teach his village the truth.Tapped into intuition for guidance. Prepared to balance as warriors.
We listened – to our guts, our hearts, our imagination.
When we fell out, we LAUGHED!
ROCKED the Boat!
Deep breathing teaches us to become friends with ourselves first so that we can be open to being friends with others.
Co-Created a Dragon Breath in a Dragon shape. A Bunny Breath in a Bunny shape. And shared!
Connected. Connected. Connected. Connected.
Rested. Rested Rested. Rested.
Created a Coat of Arms to reflect our core values.
Thank you Little Shop of Stories for your partnership.
Thank you to all who showed up and celebrated being on the same breath and on the same page. And bunnies. And dragons. And friendships. Thank you to all of you who made new friends. We noticed!
Thank you Kelley Sue for capturing the joy, the friendship, the laughter of the celebration.
Press Release: Grounded Kids announce they’ve gone Square.
Press Release
Grounded Kids announce they’ve gone Square.
May 23, 2018
Atlanta, GA– Locally owned Grounded Kids announced today that it will no longer be offering rectangular products, and will focus intensively on offering square products effective June 1, 2018. Company officials are expected to communicate this monumental shift in strategy to both certified and not yet certified Grounded Kids Teachers later this week via Facetime Live.
Grounded Kids officials expect this incredible change to improve yogic confidence and widen, lengthen and strengthen all kids who dare to practice yoga. In addition to square pose cards and other productive and pretty products, Grounded Kids will continue to share their incredible workshops and trainings with wise people.
About Squares
A square is a planar figure with four equal straight sides and four right angles. A square is the quadrilateral of least perimeter enclosing a given area. Dually, a square is the quadrilateral containing the largest area within a given perimeter.[6] Indeed, if A and P are the area and perimeter enclosed by a quadrilateral, then the following isoperimetric inequality holds:
with equality if and only if the quadrilateral is a square.
And squares are really cool.
How Square Shapes will improve emotional/social intelligence
The square shape will permit children to reach a more harmonious state and to have the courage to not only be there but to also be square. The abundance of right angles are directly correlated with the abundance of right action. In a square with all sides being equal, children can take into account equally all sides of a situation. As evidenced by the poses called “See It From My Side” and “I See It From Your Side” where children actually create right angles in their bodies it is clear that Squares are considered a “Fair” rectangle and induce a fair emotional state of being.
In recognition of the tremendous amount of societal pressure on kids and teens to ultimately achieve “hipster” status, Grounded Kids would like to make “being square” a viable alternative, and perhaps a more hip way to not be a hipster.
Grounded Kids has recently uncovered deeply hidden knowledge about the sacredness of squares will be sharing this publically. A square has transformational properties and even has two equal triangles in it. More information is expected to be released.
About Grounded Kids
Grounded is how to funnel negative habitual pattern surges down through the nervous system and into the earth and transform these surges into higher energies of creativity, courage, compassion, strength, and connection. Grounding gives us the power to self-elevate to our highest destiny.
Kids collaborate in their revolutionary methodology. Together they learn how to ground when unsettled. Energize when feeling sluggish. Focus when distracted. Take the high road of responding instead of reacting impulsively.

My Moods By Ethany, 2nd grader #GroundedinColor
When I am calm I feel so calm that my anger leaves.
When I am calm I feel like I am blue because blue is my calm color.
When I am Happy I feel pink because pink is my party color.
