I am so inspired. I am currently planning classes for my son's Kindergarten class and am kind of intimidated, as I am used to teaching growups. But this is right up my alley. Thanks so much!

It is a wonderful idea for you to incorporate anatomy lessons for kids and teens who are doing yoga. Kids would be more interested to learn yoga while at the same time learning more about their bodies. Putting exercise and science together makes both topics a lot more interesting! Kudos to you Donna! I'll make sure to incorporate this myself! Thanks for the post! This is a beautiful post!

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.
