Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

Description

Ch-ch-ch-change is happening all the time and is something everyone experiences every day! Change can be exciting, but it can also be scary and children sometimes have a hard time understanding it. Next Generation Yoga’s Lesson Plan, “Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes” provides a light-hearted and educational perspective on some of the changes that occur in our world; and since it is said that the only thing that is constant is change, it is never to soon to learn how to best accept and embrace it!

“Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes” features a Yoga game, partner poses, song recommendations, and a very special guided meditation. Prop ideas, a theme-specific breathing exercise, and suggestions for how to share this lesson in a Family Yoga class are all included. This NGY Lesson Plan is sure to change any worrisome thoughts around ch-ch-ch-changes! Written by NGY Founder, Jodi Komitor & NGY Teacher, Nicole Koleshis, we’ll show you how to infuse the “Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes” theme into a class, specifically designed for 2-7 and 8-13 year olds.
