Lesson Planning - 4 elements of a great kids yoga lesson plan

I spent the last 30 mins updating my kids yoga class planning. 

The 4 elements I feel are most important when planning kids yoga classes are:

1. Safety (yoga poses should be comfortable and stable! Don't strain!)
2. Practice (teach them that yoga is a practice that can increase strength, flexibility, calmness, etc.)
3. Play (make yoga fun - they are kids!)
4. Meditative visualization (they love using their imagination to create a safe meditative space)

I enjoyed teaching kids yoga but it is vastly different to teaching adults yoga! 

Here's a great organization that does free webinars related to teaching yoga to kids:
