Yoga Tales classes are designed to strengthen character.
Our fantastic new Character Education Program, “What
I like about me!” reinforces
a sense of awareness and a thoughtful attitude in children, on and off the
yoga mat. Each month we focus on a different theme, such as self-esteem,
truthfulness or patience, exploring these concepts through personal examples,
and helping students to begin shaping a lifelong value system.
We offer several types of classes for your school or camp:
Kids Yoga: This yoga class, for children ages 3+; use stories, music and
games to engage yoginis in healthful movement and help them grow stronger
and more flexible. We also teach balancing and relaxation techniques that
help reduce stress, increase concentration and improve mental acuity.
Sports Yoga: In this class each yogini will learn how to incorporate yoga
into their game of choice: soccer, tennis, baseball, basketball, golf, etc.
to improve their overall game skills. This class will concentrate on yoga
breathing techniques to increase stamina and concentration along with challenging
stretches that will improve strength, balance and flexibility.
Tween & Teen Yoga: Yoga Tales offers classes for older kids that focus
on the many issues that teens and tweens face in their lives. These kids'
innate agility allows us to practice a deeper level of yoga. This class helps
to promote self confidence, self-worth and a positive body image, while providing
stress management techniques to ward off teen depression and help kids survive
the teen years. Special activities such as journaling, aromatherapy, acupressure,
meditation and visualization, are practiced in an environment that is conducive
to open and candid discussions about the subjects that matter to tween and
teens.
We know that the parents of your students expect you and your staff to offer quality activities that are good for their kids, so I hope that you’ll consider adding a Yoga Tales enrichment class to your programs.
Mobile In Schools
We’ve successfully taken Yoga Tales to 11 schools, doctor’s offices
and childcare programs over the last year, including Sidwell Friends Summer
Camp, The Spinal Rehab Center and the JCC of Greater Washington. Yoga Tales
students delighted in using their imaginations to travel to faraway places,
become different animals, and help Yoga Tales create new stories and new poses
of their own.
Yoga Tales is a wonderful way for children ages 3-18 to exercise their bodies, express themselves and learn to manage stress, and a great way for you to provide a unique offering that will help set your program apart from other childcare facilities. Unlike other yoga programs, each 45-minute Yoga Tales class uses stories to teach kids yoga, incorporating music, toys, creative expression and carefully- supervised, age-appropriate yoga movements. A Yoga Tales teacher will bring the music, mats, eye pillows, blankets and props required to teach a fun and educational class. The kids have a great time, and remain calm, focused and alert long after the class has ended. Yoga Tales is an entertaining, educational activity that children of all ages can enjoy. Yoga Tales is designed to:
As a pediatric audiologist with a Masters Degree in child development, Sarah Schain has spoken with medical and educational professionals who agree that yoga offers important health benefits to young people.
Yoga Tales would love to provide a certified children’s
yoga instructor to come to your location and bring all the benefits of yoga
to your children. Please contact Sandi at 301-951-9642 to hear more about
the Yoga Tales Mobile Enrichment Program.
