Yoga Nidra

Description

Yoga Nidra is known as “the sleep of the Yogis” and is considered a form of meditation. While it is not really sleep, practitioners are not fully conscious either. The Next Generation Yoga Lesson Plan: “Yoga Nidra” offers children the benefits of a calmer mind, relaxed body and better sleep.

These original NGY Lesson Plans features a structured script appropriate for 2-7 yr. or 8-13 year olds and include 7 steps. Additionally, there is an album recommendation to compliment the “Yoga Nidra,” prop suggestions, and tips for how to share this lesson in a Family Yoga class, and instructions for how to make an eye pillow. Written by NGY Founder, Jodi Komitor and NGY Teacher, Nicole Koleshis, these lesson plans will show you how to infuse the “Yoga Nidra” theme into a class, specifically designed for 2-7 yr. olds or 8-13 year olds.

Whether you are a parent, caregiver, an experienced or new Yoga Teacher, this lesson plan is for you and the children in your life any time of the year. It is thoughtfully designed so that everyone can learn and implement something new!
