I am a Superhero 2.0

Description

The Next Generation Yoga “I am a Superhero 2.0” Lesson Plan uses the power of positive affirmations to bring out the superhero found within all of us. Put on your inner superhero cape and get ready to make the world a better place by shining your love and inner strength, sharing your kindness and peace, and practicing self-care and compassion! There are superhero qualities, and powers, found within all of us and through the practice of yoga, we can shine bold and bright.

This self-confidence, self-esteem and self-love building lesson plan weaves positive affirmations throughout the class and gives children the opportunity to practice expressing powerful “I am…” statements. What we think, we create and the lessons learned in this class can be taken off the mat into everyday life. Complete with mindful and kid-friendly yoga poses and breathing exercises, a guided visualization, and musical recommendations, this lesson plan is a valuable tool for bringing out the superhero in every child. Written by NGY Founder, Jodi B Komitor & NGY Teacher Nicole Koleshis, this Next Generation Yoga Lesson Plan will show you how to infuse this powerful theme into a Kids Yoga class that is designed specifically for 2-7 and 8-13 year olds.

Included are two complete lesson plans that can be used at any time of the year: one for 2-7 year olds (30-45 minutes) and one for 8-13 year olds (45-60 minutes).
