The best way to teach yoga to children is with games. With 52
vibrant, easy-to-follow yoga games requiring no previous yoga
experience, this book will enable you to help children become
better listeners, take responsibility, gain self-control, improve
behaviour, become assertive and improve self-esteem and confidence.
Within these pages Michael Chissick has distilled nearly twenty
years' experience of teaching yoga to children aged 3-11 in
mainstream and special needs schools. He explains the ideal yoga
lesson structure to transform your children's behaviour: you will
learn which games to teach, when to teach them and how to teach
them, and how the additional benefits of improved co-ordination,
flexibility, fitness, self-calming and relaxation can be accessible
to all children regardless of impairment, need, culture, shape,
mood or size.
Frog, Dog, Flamingo and Dragon are all very upset - Frog has too
many chores to do, Dog has writer's block, Flamingo is being
bullied at school and Dragon's granddad has just died. Ladybird
listens to their worries and comes up with a plan that will help
them all - let's learn Ladybird's Remarkable Relaxation! This
beautiful picture book teaches an effective yoga relaxation
technique that can be used anywhere and anytime to deal with a
problem. Little Ladybird flutters from big toe to knee to thumb and
onwards around the body, showing children how to focus their
attention and calm their thoughts. Whether they feel stressed like
Frog, or lack confidence like Dog, children will relate to the cast
of delightful characters and learn that they too can use relaxation
to cope with anxiety, bullying, or grief, and face their worries.
This book will be an excellent resource for teachers and teaching
assistants in both mainstream and special needs schools, yoga
instructors, and parents looking for a fun and engaging story to
teach children aged 4-11 about coping with difficult emotions.
Speaking from decades of experience, Michael Chissick shares the
secrets to teaching yoga to children and young people with Autistic
Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The physical, emotional and social
benefits of yoga for autistic children can be profound, and this
book will give you the confidence to get going with an array of fun
activities and games from 'chasing the frog' to 'yoga detective'.
Whether you work in special needs school, primary mainstream school
or the community, or you are the parent of an autistic child, this
book will equip you with plans, structures, goals, teaching tips
and a multitude of real-life stories. The book is suitable for
teaching everyone on the spectrum, with an emphasis on teaching
those with more complicated needs. It is also relevant for use with
children who have related needs such as ADHD and sensory processing
challenges. Beautifully illustrated with images of the postures
taught within, it is the perfect go-to resource for anyone
interested in engaging children and young people in yoga. I can be
a banana, can you? Suitable for ages 4-11
The Starfish Brothers, Eel, Crab and Octopus are having a horrid
time. The Starfish Brothers' backs are stiff as planks, Eel is in a
wheelchair and feels excluded, Crab finds it hard to play with
others, and highly-competitive Octopus is on crutches after a
pole-vaulting accident. Luckily, Seahorse adapts her Magical Yoga
Sun Sequence to suit their individual needs, helping them to be
active, included, and much happier! This beautiful picture book
teaches four Yoga Sun Sequences in a fun and interactive way. The
simple sequences benefit all children, while ensuring that anyone
with inflexibility, autism, disability or injury can join in the
fun. With specific advice for individual needs, this is an
excellent resource for educators, yoga instructors and parents
hoping to promote inclusion, positivity and confidence in all
children aged 3-11.
Frog is very worried as he has an important speech to make at his
school assembly. The speech is about breathing and he doesn't know
a thing about it! He asks his friends for help and they teach him
all about the lion breath, the crocodile breath, the humming bee
breath and the woodchopper breath. Can any of these breathing
techniques calm his nerves before the big speech? This charming
illustrated picture book teaches children four yoga breathing
techniques in a fun and interactive way. The story successfully
increases children's awareness of their breath and shows how
breathing can be used to deal with anger, anxiety and tension.
Suitable for children aged 4-11. This book will be a great resource
for teachers and teaching assistants in mainstream and special
needs schools, children's yoga instructors, as well as parents
looking for an engaging story to teach their children about coping
with difficult emotions and stressful situations.
