Weather Report

Description

Join a Yogi meteorologist to explore the fascinating world of weather through Yoga! Next Generation Yoga’s Lesson Plan, “Weather Report,” is a non-stop adventure in the exploration of different weather patterns and how they impact us.

“Weather Report” is filled with fun and educational facts woven throughout theme-specific Yoga poses, breathing exercises and guided visualizations. This original NGY Lesson Plan also contains a Yoga game, detailed prop and music list, and numerous opportunities for 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 “Weather Report” theme into a class, specifically designed for 2-7 and 8-13 year olds.

Whether you are a parent, school-based educator, or an experienced or new yoga teacher, NGY Lesson Plans are for you and the children in your life. They are thoughtfully designed so that everyone can learn something new.
