Teaching anatomy is a very important aspect of any yoga curriculum. I find visual aids very helpful for this topic. When possible, it's great to have a skeleton in the classroom as a visual learning tool. I carry around of big book of anatomical illustrations to use for teens and I love the "See Inside My Body" book for young children. Charts are also great. Here are a few links to resources. http://www.anatomical.com/Default.asp?bhcd2=1267479387 http://www.amazon.com/Inside-Your-Body-Katie-Daynes/dp/079451233X I agree, Donna.

I'll be using these! I like using interesting body facts in kids yoga. Like intestines are about 26 feet long. 26 feet is the height of 6 kids around 7 years old. If they lie down in a line, it really brings to life how far the food travels before its eliminated. So you want good food to go the distance. Yoga is great for bringing anatomy to life.

I couldn't agree more. Tying in anatomy lessons promotes body awareness and the connection between yoga activities (movements, breaths, etc.) and their benefits. When kids start to make these connections, there is a much better chance of the yoga tools becoming part of their everyday self-management activities. Thanks for all the links - I will be checking these out! Nice Donna! I couldn’t agree more.
