How to Share Yoga Stories with Kids
One of the first things I learnt about on the children’s yoga training was sharing yoga through stories. Stories are great for engaging children but they also help develop their imagination and language skills, so a triple win! Stories can also be a fantastic way to share some of the more simple yogic values such as kindness or perseverance as many stories already contain moral messages.
Last year I decided to enrol on the Cosmic Kids Children’s Yoga Training as Jamie is the queen of yoga stories online and most of the children who come to my classes have tried her lessons. I have also just taken a further training in EYFS yoga from Beam Academy ( I have been qualified to teach this age group from the start but I am passionate about training from as many different teachers as I can to constantly develop my skills) and there was a large emphasis on yoga stories in this training also.
Here is a yoga story I wrote this week inspired by different types of transport - something some of the children I teach weekly love. You can download this story as a PDF and access my other yoga stories in my resource bank here.
