Yoga with Toddlers (and other children)

Doing yoga with children is so much fun! It's especially wonderful because you're able to fit in some very important mommy time while you're teaching your child to move their body, stretch, relax and  focus on the moves you're doing. This month at HBMH, I had a delightful time preparing for the Parent Education Night: Yoga with Toddlers. While I was preparing, I had a great idea on how to share the moves with families who were unable to attend the education night. By clicking on this link you'll find a book in PDF format with the description of 17 fun and easy poses. This will be a fun project for your family - take a picture of you or your child doing the pose based on the description I've provided in the book. Then, paste the pictures on each respective page. You can have the book laminated at Kinkos, or you could put it in a 3-ring binder with page protectors. But, no matter what - your child will ABSOLUTELY LOVE looking at his or her own yoga book and repeating the poses over and over again. If you have questions or feedback, just give me a call or send over an email - I'd love to know how wonderfully it's implemented in your home!
