Yoga in the classroom is an idea whose time has come. What better way to help students focus, calm down after recess, transition from one activity to the next, start or end the day—and internalize values such as patience, peace, and respect while they’re at it?
Composed of a Lesson Book, Play Deck, and CD, the Angel Bear Yoga Kit provides everything you need to introduce basic yoga, relaxation techniques, and quiet reflection to your classroom (or home). All materials feature Angel Bear and other animals, whose adventures in the forest address both yoga and character building.
The book provides a year’s worth of lesson plans that teach physical poses, breathing exercises, heart affirmations, visualizations, and relaxation. The Play Deck includes 60 colorful 5" x 7" cards, each illustrating a different yoga pose and presenting a related activity designed to build character. Gently reinforcing all this, the CD offers 50 3- to 4-minute stories that focus on positive character traits and their presence in nature. These stories are perfect for quiet time following yoga.
Sessions can range from 5 to 30 minutes. You can introduce one theme or pose, or you can offer a full yoga session. Flexible and fun, this program works with any schedule, in just about any setting. Teachers and parents find that even the most active children can focus and relax with the help of Angel Bear Yoga.
“I am so glad that my boys are participating in Angel Bear Yoga classes! Without realizing it, they are learning relaxation techniques and values that will stay with them for a lifetime.”
