Animals with Tails

Description

What do beavers, elephants, otters and peacocks have in common? They all have a tail! The Next Generation Yoga Lesson Plan: “Animals with Tails” is an adventure into the lives of our animal friends with tails.

The NGY Lesson Plan for 2-7 year olds highlights our animal friends with tails by featuring interesting facts and learning points, fun and developmentally appropriate creative movements, and a thematic partner pose. There are also suggestions for how to share this lesson in a Family Yoga class.

The NGY Lesson Plan for 8-13 year olds provides an age-appropriate flow, with a corresponding playlist and includes interesting learning points and fun facts. Opportunities to independently explore Yoga poses and creative movements are woven in.
