The trees are starting to change! This is a wonderful time to do tree pose. Talk about the parts of the tree as you transform your body into the shape of a tree.
================================================Fall 2017
We made halloween I SPY bottles. The students worked as a team and added glitter and objects (skeletons, snakes and spiders).
These bottles are great for vocabulary and self-regulation. The children can shake the bottle up and then tell you what they see or they can shake it, sit quietly, breathe and watch the glitter fall.
================================================= Soar like an EAGLE!
Try eagle pose when you need your students to present in a calm manner. This is great to do before a test or before you read them a story. Have them sit in their chair. Feet flat on the floor. Right arm under left. Eyes forward. Inhale, exhale. Breathe 5 breaths. Then switch, left arm under right. Eyes forward. Inhale, exhale. Breathe 5 breaths. Untwist. One more big breath in and out. Ahhhhhh.... calm

Fall Language/Yoga Activity
The following activity was done in an intensive needs classroom. The goal of the activity was to learn fall words.
Here is the activity schedule.
The next step was a gentle song called Autumn Tree. This song teaches them poses for tree and squirrel (chair pose).
Visuals for fall words.
The last step is the children are taught different fall themed (vocabulary, word relationships) yoga poses. Each child chooses a friend (social skill) to pick a leaf and then demonstrates the pose.
The children end with savasana or easy sit pose while gazing at a candle listening to gentle music.

ENERGY YOGA POSE
Are the students getting sleepy after lunch? It's hard coming back after a week of rest and relaxation. It might be a great time to introduce them to warrior II pose. This pose wakes up the body and mind.
Demonstrate the four steps with them. Have them hold the pose for at least 5 seconds. Do the pose again but with the opposite leg. Talk with them about how it feels to be a brave warrior. Where does their warrior want to live? What does their warrior look like?

Yoga: A Great Activity to Enhance Speech, Language and Literacy
Written by Craig Hanauer E-RYT 500 CYT
Over the past 15 years of teaching yoga to children I have come to appreciate what an amazing activity yoga is for supporting speech, language and literacy development. As children many of us were told to sit still and listen, and sadly comments such as this can still be heard in schools around the world. For some children this is an either or proposition; they can either sit still or listen, and moving their bodies helps them to self-regulate and attend.
Ask any speech pathologist and they will tell you about the connection between movement and expressive language; having kids move their bodies during speech therapy sessions is akin to greasing the wheel. This is why asking children to be quiet in yoga class is a true self-regulatory challenge. I recall working with a selectively mute child who would only speak during movement-related activities, and at these times she was quite talkative. Opportunities for child-directedness in yoga class provide important practice in initiation, sequencing, coordinating movement and expressive language, and creativity.
Children are likely to be more relaxed during yoga class which makes them much more receptive to learning, and the calmness they experience afterwards will contribute to increased word retrieval and fluency. Acting out stories or moving to kid friendly songs provides the opportunity to link words or phrases to corresponding movements or actions. Kinesthetic learners will be much more likely to follow along and retain a story when it is acted out physically, and if a child's receptive language is challenged, observing classmates and teachers perform will provide valuable visual support.
Many young children, particularly those with developmental delays, lack core strength and postural support. Unfortunately when this is the case, the mechanisms of breathing (the ribcage and the diaphragm) become fixed and locked and engaged in holding the body upright. Yoga increases core strength and postural support, which frees up the mechanisms of breathing for their intended purpose, and ultimately supports self-regulation and expressive language. One needs to be able to take a deep inhalation followed by a long controlled exhalation both to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and to create speech, and an unencumbered diaphragm and rib cage are necessary to do this.
Yoga can be extremely strengthening for the diaphragm; for example breathing in Bow Pose against the floor/gravity is like resistance training for the diaphragm. Having a strong diaphragm not only allows one to take deep inhalations, but it allows us to make forceful exhalations, an important ability in blowing our noses to clear our nasal passages. Breathing in bow pose also provides valuable proprioceptive input to the abdominal area, which helps students identify the place you want them to breathe into.
Speech and Language Pathologists have been attending my Every Kid's Yoga Teacher Training for years, which indicates to me that the relationship between these two seemingly disparate disciplines has become increasingly appreciated and accepted.

Hello March!
Here is a relaxing guided imagery for you class.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
February 9, 2016
Valentine's Day is here! This is the best time to teach children loving-kindness! Here is a guided imagery from yogadork. Remember.... have your students put their heads on their desks with their hands stacked on top of one another under their foreheads. Have them close their eyes and take several deep breaths. Speak slowly to them and pause in between sentences.
Loving-Kindness Guided Imagery for Kids
Begin by saying to yourself the following Loving-Kindness thoughts: May I Be Happy. May I Be Healthy.
Repeat this to yourself several times until you can really feel it inside your heart.
Now, think about someone you love and vividly picture this person in your mind. As you see this person in your mind, send them the Loving-Kindness meditation: May You Be Happy. May You Be Healthy.
Next, think about a person you do not know too well, yet see often. Perhaps it is a bus driver, a janitor at school, or a school crossing guard. Think about this person and send them the Loving-Kindness meditation: May You Be Happy. May You Be Healthy.
Now think about someone who mildly disturbs you . . . someone who can get on your nerves. Think about a time when you and this person were happy together and send this person the Loving-Kindness meditation: May You Be Happy. May You Be Healthy.
Finally, take this Loving-Kindness thought and make it even bigger by sending it out to the entire state (the state you are teaching in): May We All Be Happy. May We All Be Healthy.
Send it out to the entire country! May We All Be Happy. May We All Be Healthy.
Send it out to the entire world! May We All Be Happy. May We All Be Healthy.
Send it out to the vast universe! May We All Be Happy. May We All Be Healthy.
Send it out to the entire world! May We All Be Happy. May We All Be Healthy.
Send it out to the vast universe! May We All Be Happy. May We All Be Healthy.
Wishing you and the Beans in your life a Happy Valentines day. May you spread Love and Kindness to everyone you meet!

Here is a tree visualization for your classroom written by Kristina Marcelli. After you read the visualization, have your students draw their tree and then do a written description of the tree in their journals. This activity makes a great language, creative writing activity.
TREE SCRIPT:
Sit down and gently close your eyes. Put your hands on your belly. Take a deep breath in your nose like you are smelling a flower. Feel your belly get bigger and bigger with your deep breath. Breathe slowly out your mouth and feel your belly get smaller again. Take another breath in your nose and feel your belly growing again. Breathe slowly out your mouth. Now, imagine you are outside sitting in the soft, green grass. You can see flowers around you and you can smell them too. You are sitting by a tall and strong tree. Pretend you are leaning up against the big, strong tree and feel the bark against your back. Take a deep breath in your nose and smell the fresh grass and outside air. The gentle breeze blows on your face and you can hear the leaves moving around way up above you. But the wind does not move the tree. The tree is too big and too strong to be moved. You can see that tree has roots that go deep into the ground and keep it secure and safe. Imagine there is a swing hanging from one of the strong branches. You are running to the swing and sitting down on the warm wooden seat. You grab onto the rough rope holding the swing and you start to swing higher and higher. You are swinging and your feet are reaching up to the warm sun. The yellow light is wrapping around you. Imagine you can breathe in the warm yellow light of the sun. Your swing is slowing down now. Now your body is becoming still again. You are feeling safe and warm wrapped up in yellow light. Feel your breathing again. Feel the air filling up inside of you. Breathe out again. When you are ready, wiggle your fingers and toes and open your eyes. You can come back to this place in your imagination whenever you want to feel safe and peaceful.
*to avoid reading too quickly, allow for 1-2 breaths between sentences*

Keep calm and do yoga over winter break! If Santa can do it, so can you!
December 1, 2015
This time of year gets a little crazy. The children get very excited about the winter break, and it is hard to get them to focus and calm themselves. This is a guided imagery you could use with your class. When they are bouncing out of their seats, take a moment and shut off the lights. Tell them to lay their heads on their desks and close their eyes while you read to them. Encourage them to imagine what you are reading. Read slowly and pause for about 5 seconds in between each paragraph. Try it and let me know how it goes!
Here is a longer version, if you need it.
=================================================November 16, 2015
It sounds like it is time for TURKEY pose! This pose tones legs, improves hamstring flexibility, and improves concentration. This would be a great pose to do before a test. To keep them in the pose for a longer period of time, they can talk about what color feathers they have on their turkey.

Positive Affirmations
Change children's negative thoughts into positive ones!! Teach them affirmations. This activity helps to build social confidence. When children say something over and over, they will start to believe it is true; and what they believe creates what you do and what happens to you.
Here is how it works..... SAD THOUGHT, "Nobody likes me!" changes to the HAPPY THOUGHT, "I love myself, and other people love me, too!" We need to teache children to think more positively so they will become empowered and have social confidence. When children feel depressed, worried or fearful, as everyone occasionally does, it is usually because of the thoughts they are thinking. We can help our children overcome their doubts and fears by also using the power of words. The key is to show them how they can change the negative words inside their heads into positive verbal suggestions. :)
This is a great story to read to the children about affirmations.
Here are some FREE printable affirmation cards you can use in your classroom.
Please print them and review one every week.

It's a new school year! Yay 2015-16!
This is the time of year when everyone starts to talk about apples. Where do apples come from?? TREES! Well, that just makes me think of tree pose.
Practice tree pose with your students when you are explaining the parts of a tree, which include apples, of course.
Feet are the roots...... "Ground your roots (feet) into the floor."
legs and belly are the trunk......"Let your trunk grow nice and tall. Reach your head up to the sky BUT look forward!" Encourage the children to find something in front of them to stare at to help them balance.
Arms are the branches....."Reach your branches (arms) up high. Reach for the sky!"
Hand are the apples....."Let your hands be the apples. Hold them tight! What color apples do you have....red/yellow/green?"
Encourage the children to lift their foot up and touch their ankles.... just a little to encourage balance...remember to stare at something on the wall. Let the trees stand for as long as they can.
Benefits of tree pose: calms/relaxes the mind, improves concentration, teaches patience and improves balance.
When should you do tree pose? Before a test, after recess and/or before a "sit down" activity.
=============================================
Teachers, try bunny breathing when your children need more energy.
Inhale through the nose in 3-4 quick sniffs, pause, then exhale out through the mouth in one long sigh. Repeat 4-5 times. This breath helps to boost energy and promotes clear thinking.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a beautiful butterfly.
Today, the children learned poses that went along with the story, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, by Eric Carle.
I found these poses on the internet last year. Unfortunately, I tried searching to give credit to the person who made them, but I couldn't find it again.
These are the poses we used with the story. In the past, I had the students roll up in their mats to form themselves into a cocoon. It's a fun activity and a great way to talk about the sequencing of the caterpillar's life.
============================================ Does your child have a difficult time falling asleep?

I read this article from MindBodyGreen about 5 Kid-Friendly Yoga Poses to Help Your Child Avoid a Meltdown and thought I would pass it along. The five poses are very easy and we have been practicing them throughout the year in our yoga group. The five poses come from an amazing storybook, Good Night Yoga: A Pose-by-Pose Bedtime Story written by Mariam Gates. The illustrations from this story are lovely! I have included them as visuals below.
Bee's Breath-Inhale through your nose. Close your mouth and exhale while saying “hmmm” as long as you can. Repeat a few times. Finally, cover your ears with your fingers and try it one more time.
Cat Pose- Start with your hands and knees on the floor (table pose). Make sure your hands are below your shoulders and knees below hips. Next, round your back and look up towards the ceiling. Then, go back to table pose. Repeat a few times.
Tree Pose- Begin by standing and balancing yourself by pressing your feet firmly on the ground. Shift your weight to one side and begin to lift your foot and place it on your ankle. Let your arms extend out only if you feel comfortable. Repeat on the other side.
Cloud Pose- Stand with your legs out wide. As you breathe in, bend your knees and raise your arms. As you exhale, stand up and bring your arms down.
Child's Pose- Begin on your hands and knees. Press back to sit on your heels and bring your chest to rest on top of your thighs. Your arms can be stretched out in front of you o tucked in by your sides. Breathe deeply and rest.

The children worked on learning how to take deep breaths. I started with putting a tree on each student's mat. They practiced tree pose. Next, I gave them the star. They practiced star pose as they said their affirmation, "I am a shining star!" They placed the star on their tree. Last the students practiced breathing. I used the app Little Children Big Challenges: Breathe, Think, Do with Semsame.
This app teaches the children how to calm their bodies and develop a plan to make a good choice.
Following the app activity, the children were given an ornament to put on their tree after they practiced taking 3 deep breaths.

The children made a Happy Box during yoga group this week. I had several pictures of things that may make them feel happy. They each chose a picture (or two) which made them feel happy, and they added it to the Happy Box. I talked with them about taking out the box when they feel sad so they can look through all the things that make them feel happy. Hopefully, the box will make their frowns turn upside down.
I think we should all have a Happy Box. ;)

This is an amazing guided relaxation activity for Fall. Guided relaxation activities help children calm their minds and bodies. You can try this after recess or anytime your students need to regroup themselves. Have the children sit at their desks, put their heads down on their desks, close their eyes, and tell them to imagine what you are about to read to them. Read the story slowly and in a soothing, calm voice. After reading the story, pause and allow the children to linger in relaxation for as long as they feel comfortable. Softly ring a bell or use a calm voice to gently let them know that the story is over if time is an issue. This is a nice activity to help the children develop imagination and vocabulary skills. Happy Fall!
This one comes from the Imaginations for Kids book by Carolyn Clark. Enjoy!
A Fall Day
Imagine it is the first day of fall.
Go for a walk and notice the cool feeling of the air.
Imagine that you see a squirrel gathering nuts.
You hear the sound of birds off in the distance.
You see a flock of geese flying south, to warmer weather.
Now imagine that you see the most colorful tree you’ve ever seen.
Walk up to the tree and hear the crunch of the leaves under your feet.
Lie down under the tree.
Feel the leaves under your body.
Take a deep breath and see if you can smell the leaves.
Look up at the leaves that are still on the tree.
Can you see the blue sky through them?
Picture all the colors of the leaves.
Red, orange, yellow, and purple.
Imagine that the wind gently blows a few leaves off the tree.
Watch them fall slowly and land softly on the ground.
Now imagine that the leaves start to fall onto you.
They cover you in a relaxing and cozy leaf blanket.
Imagine that red leaves fall on your feet and your feet relax.
Orange leaves fall on your legs, and your legs relax.
Yellow leaves fall on your belly, and your belly relaxes.
Purple leaves fall on your arms and hands, and they relax, too.
Enjoy how relaxed your whole body feels.
Lie here under your colorful leaf blanket, enjoying this fall day.

Classroom teachers, please come see me if you want to learn more about how to incorporate yoga into your school day.
I am a Childlight Yoga Instructor. I have been teaching a small group yoga class with some special needs students and using some strategies mixed in with my therapy sessions the past few years. I went to a classroom yoga workshop this summer. This workshop showed me how the general education teachers can use yoga in their classrooms. I was really excited when I walked through the hallway the first day of school for the students, and I saw a teacher standing and doing some stretches with her students. I thought..."This is a great opportunity to show her some poses to use with her students!" I just gave her some of the cards, and I'm hoping she will use some of them with her students. :)
All of the information in this section is taken from the Yoga 4 Classroom Manual by Lisa Flynn.
"Yoga empowers students and teachers to create positive, peaceful, productive classrooms that support exceptional learning and a lifetime of health and awareness." Lisa Flynn
When can you take a yoga break during the school day???
- morning meeting/start of day
- between subject transition times
- pre-testing and/or mid-testing break
- writing preparation or writing break
- after recess
- after lunch
- when students are tired or drained
- when students need confidence or mood boost
- to alleviate negativity
- while waiting in line
- anytime when focus and attention begin to diminish
- to celebrate/just for fun
- community builder
- close of day/conclusion
Yoga is not just about poses, but it is about breathing as well!!
"Consider this!" One good breath will allow a child to relax mentally and physically. One good breath will teach a child to pause before commenting to her words and actions. One good breath will help a child release his anger and approach difficult situations with a clear mind. One good breath will help a child gather the courage to take a calculated risk, whether it's trying something different or making a new friend. One good breath will improve a child's focus, so he can perform better at school, on the ball field, at home. One good breath will remind a child to smile, to forgive, to play, to love, to live. If one good breath will help a child to achieve all of this, imagine what a lifetime of good breaths will do. Let's breath!" Lisa Flynn, Yoga 4 Classrooms Program Manual.
Let's try one!!
Balloon Breath
1. Begin sitting in your chair with a tall, straight spine. Close your eyes and place your hand gently on your lower belly.
2. Imagine your belly is like a balloon.
3. Slowly inflate the balloon by breathing through your nose. Feel your belly expand as our balloon fills with air.
4. Slowly deflate your balloon by exhaling the stale balloon air out through your nose.
5. Repeat 4-6 times.
Notice how you feel. :)

YOGA ACTIVITIES
These suggestions come from Radiant Child Yoga and the book Incredible You -- 10 Ways to Let Your Greatness Shine Through by Dr. Wayne Dyer.
Share the Good with Others
* Talk about how you can share with others. There are many ways to help someone (the kids can come up with some ideas). Tell the children that there are many poses in yoga that help them to feel joyful and good about themselves and ready to help others.
* One of the poses is butterfly pose. Sit on your buttocks with a tall spine, bend your legs, place the soles of your feet together, and gently flap your wings like a butterfly. Imagine how joyful it must be to be a butterfly just floating in the air.
* End by taking a deep breath.
* After this posture, tell the children that when they feel joy, it's good to share it. The more joy you share, the more you get back. Sometimes all you have to do to share your joy with others is simply smile at them.

My love for yoga spills into my instruction as a Speech Language Pathologist. I started my journey in yoga 10 years ago. I have spent the past several years trying to master poses. Well, I haven't mastered the poses, but I have started an interest in yoga at a deeper level. I met a yoga instructor who completely inspired me to take yoga to the next level. So I started my journey....I went to a Yoga 4 Classrooms training and became certified as a Childlight Yoga Instructor.
I am a huge fan of yoga, because it has changed my life in so many ways. It has reduced my stress level, improved my concentration, and made me an overall happier person (just to name a few). As I work with young children with diagnoses ranging from ADHD to Autism, I'm learning how to incorporate the yoga inspired techniques to help them improve their imagination, increase their vocabulary, give them strategies for self-regulation, improve their ability to follow directions, improve their health, and concentration. There is research explaining how yoga is helping children with ADHD and Autism, and yoga is replacing medication with some children. I'm a true believer in yoga, and I hope you will see the benefits in it as well.
Here is some information with research about yoga in schools.
