How I Teach Yoga Through Play ?
|
Hi, If you're teaching yoga and mindfulness to children (or really, teaching anything to children!), one of the biggest questions is: "How do I keep children engaged?"The answer isn't asking children to sit still or pay attention. It's making learning engaging.One of the biggest mindset shifts I share in my teacher trainings is this:
I don't expect children to fit into yoga. I adapt yoga to the way children naturally learn. And one of the best ways children learn......is through play. One of my favourite activities is Yoga Simon Says. The rules are simple. Children only do the yoga pose when they hear the words... "Simon Says." To them, it feels like a game. But behind the scenes, they're learning so much more than yoga poses. That's the beauty of children's yoga. When learning feels playful, children become engaged. And when children are engaged...Learning naturally follows. That's why games, stories, imagination, movement and creativity aren't distractions from yoga. They're some of the most powerful ways to teach it. 🎁 Try It YourselfIf you'd like more ideas, I've put together a FREE 20-Minute Kids Yoga Games Workshop that you can start using straight away. 👉 Access it here: Looking for More Games?If you teach children regularly, my Kids Yoga Games Library includes: ✔ 55+ yoga games & activities Explore it here: https://courses.blissyogasg.com/courses/yoga-games-kids Want to Learn How to Teach Like This?Games are just one small part of what we cover inside our Yoga Alliance–Accredited Kids Yoga & Mindfulness Teacher Training.Rather than simply giving you activities, we help you understand why they work and when to use them.

Hello BlissYogaSG Community! 💜 As part of our BlissYogaSG community, I love sharing practical tips and insights to support children's focus, confidence and holistic well-being through yoga, mindfulness and purposeful play.
