Chakra Yoga – Rainbowland

Description

When the chakras, or the body’s energy centers, are balanced and happy, we feel balanced and happy. Teach children about the rainbow in their body with Next Generation Yoga’s Lesson Plan: “Chakra Yoga – Rainbowland.”

“Chakra Yoga – Rainbowland” is filled with theme-specific Yoga poses, breathing exercises and guided visualizations, all designed to open and balance the chakras. This original NGY Lesson Plan also contains a Yoga game, partner poses, music and prop recommendations and numerous opportunities for developmentally appropriate and sensory-rich movement. As always, there are suggestions for how to share this lesson in a Family Yoga class. Written by NGY Founder, Jodi Komitor & NGY Teacher, Nicole Koleshis, we’ll show you how to infuse the “Chakra Yoga – Rainbowland” theme into a class, specifically designed for 2-7 and 8-13 year olds.
