We practiced Kindness in our Yoga Club today~first being kind to ourselves and then with partners, and finally with others who are not in our club.
We breathed into our hearts and then partnered up and breathed into the back of our hearts because sometimes the kindest thing we can do is be quiet, listen and breathe for someone who is suffering.
Allie wrote this anonymous letter for someone to find unexpectedly. She placed it in the teacher’s workroom.
Lola created this advice for her 4th grade teacher who is moving next week.
Amala wrote a note to her teacher and placed the pose chip with directions in a special package.
Isabel wrote a letter to her sick friend who couldn’t be at yoga club today.
And Anaiah wrote a special note to her mom. She also told her mom that there is no such thing as too much kindness. {Heart}
Next week we will reveal more. Inspired? Purchase pose chips and send notes to your friends!

In the business of life, we tend to get contracted, even with our yoga practice. We want to be aligned, with good form and practice these principles in sequential order. At times, all of those details can bog us down. Bring playfulness into your yoga practice and think of it like a game. See what part of you is winning in certain poses. Steadiness, Spacious Breath, Hugging the Midline? The directions for Warrior 1 Up are here, but don’t stop there. Think Rock, Papers with each pose and notice what becomes more clear.
The traditional definition of yoga is “union.” At Grounded Kids Yoga, we understand that to mean something beautifully practical. When we bring all the parts and layers of ourselves together, we begin to know ourselves more deeply. We feel supported from within. We feel connected, grounded, and whole. That sense of integration is what makes…
This activity came out of a need to define shinning inner light. The
concept seems vague to some kids so I wanted to find a way to connect
emotions with yoga movements in a concrete way. Doing this activity is a
way for kids to verbalize their good qualities. Some kids are very familiar
with their dark sides, and they only hear adults point out what they do
wrong. They have to be able to identify their light sides and what they do
right before they can shine their inner lights. Once they have a few
concrete images to focus on, I think they can shine these attributes as they
do the yoga poses.
