Make a wish, blow out the candles and celebrate another trip around the Sun with Next Generation Yoga’s Lesson Plan, “Birthday Party Yoga.” Step-by-step instructions to teach a fun and meaningful Yoga class at a child’s birthday party are included in this unique Lesson Plan. We do it just like The Beatles said, “They say it’s your birthday. We’re gonna have a good time!”

“Birthday Party Yoga” is a one-of-a-kind lesson plan, essential for anyone wanting to share Yoga at children’s birthday parties. It is full of kid-friendly Yoga poses, theme-specific creative movements and a sweet birthday guided meditation.
