In the Garden

Welcome to our yoga garden!

The steps in this lesson plan can be adjusted to fill a 45-60 minute yoga class. It is ideal for children 3-5 years old. It engages your students in ways young children relate to, including familiar songs and games. Enjoy this in the spring and summer, and also in winter, when we dream of getting some time in the warm sun. We can always build a garden inside with yoga!

• A centering activity, to bring children together in our garden

• Story time, where kids plant our yoga garden
• Yoga game, with themed large muscle movement
• Yoga activity, children meet our animal friends that visit our garden
