			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><a class="addthis_button" href="http://yogainmyschool.com//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250" addthis:url='http://yogainmyschool.com/2012/05/15/jungle-story-an-engaging-kids-yoga-romp/' addthis:title='Jungle Story: An Engaging Kids Yoga Romp '><img src="//cache.addthis.com/cachefly/static/btn/v2/lg-share-en.gif" width="125" height="16" alt="Bookmark and Share" style="border:0"/></a></div><h3>Jungle Story from <a href="http://www.myfirstyoga.com/">My First Yoga</a> makes learning yoga fun and easy for pre-schoolers.</h3>
<p>I was thrilled to read and use in #kidsyoga class Abbie Davies most recent contribution to yoga books for kids. Building from her delightful first book <a href="http://yogainmyschool.com/2010/06/22/my-first-yoga-a-delight-for-little-yogis/">My First Yoga: Animals Poses</a>, Abbie now takes us on an active adventure through the jungle in search of a monkey.</p>
<p>Attracting and keeping attention throughout with the colorful, uncomplicated illustrations, readers are asked if each animal they meet along the way is a monkey. They respond &#8216;No&#8217; and tell us what animal it is (lion, flamingo, elephant, etc), then perform the accompanying pose. The three step instructions for each yoga pose keep them simple enough for even the youngest yogi.</p>
<p><a href="http://yogainmyschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/junglestory.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-7936" title="junglestory" src="http://yogainmyschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/junglestory.jpg" alt="" width="318" height="159" /></a>From one animal to the next, children are invited to &#8216;March, March, March&#8217; while seated. Ingenious! Kids love watching the train of explorers grow as each new animals is added, smallest to tallest. They don&#8217;t even realize that they are building mental and physical health and wellness.</p>
<p>From a literacy and learning point of view, the deliberate rhythm and repetition found in the book are ideal for emergent readers and young children. This provides wonderful opportunities to echo and practice language skills, building a firm foundation of ability and understanding.</p>
<p>Kudos to My First Yoga on producing another sweet, vibrant and well thought-out children&#8217;s book that improves strength, balance, flexibility and focus. I&#8217;m looking forward to your next addition to my #kidsyoga library.</p>
<p>Here are two coloring pages to accompany the book: <a href="http://omazingkidsyoga.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/lion-coloring-page.pdf">Lion </a> and <a href="http://www.myfirstyoga.com/storage/blog/MyFirstYoga_Flamingo.pdf">Flamingo</a></p>

'><img src="//cache.addthis.com/cachefly/static/btn/v2/lg-share-en.gif" width="125" height="16" alt="Bookmark and Share" style="border:0"/></a></div><p>This contest is now closed &#8211; Thanks to everyone for entering &amp; the many, many comments &amp; sharing. Totally blew me away with your inspiration &amp; love of #kidsyoga.</p>
<h3>You really, truly need to get your hands on the fabulous <a href="http://www.yoga4classrooms.com/activity-card-deck">Yoga 4 Classroom card deck</a>. Today. And #YIMS is here to help.</h3>
<p>This well thought-out deck is packed with yoga and mindfulness ideas that are easy to use in the classroom. Ideal for Elementary Schools, and even Middle Schools, the deck is comprised of 67 over-sized (6&#8243;x8&#8243;) cards, sturdy enough to withstand daily use by teachers and youth.</p>
<p>Lisa Flynn of <a href="http://www.childlightyoga.com/">ChildLight Yoga</a> has done a fabulous job  of providing step-by-step instructions as well as additional creative applications on every card. The illustrations by James Vaughn are bright, cheerful and depict children of diverse ethnicities and abilities.</p>
<p>I especially like how the cards are color coded according to the rainbow/chakras making it easy to find a yoga-based activity to meet students&#8217; needs quickly. As well, the cards cover so much more than yoga poses including breathing exercises, body-awareness, affirmations, mindful meditations, healthy living tips, and more.</p>

<p><em>Enter to win a copy of this DVD by leaving a comment telling about a challenge you&#8217;ve overcome to get where you are today. Contest closes November 30, 9:00 pm MST.</em></p>
<p><em>Vishnu&#8217;s Ohmazing Journeys</em> is the newest DVD from Yogiños Yoga for Youth and is a celebration of Indian culture. This kids yoga DVD recounts three different adventures of Vishnu, a supreme God of Hinduism and Indian mythology.</p>
<p><em>Vishnu&#8217;s Ohmazing Journeys</em> recounts three Hindu myths with Vishnu taking on a different role/ avatar in each one to overcome challenges and find great treasures.</p>
<p>The first is of Vishnu as the Tortoise, the second with Vishnu as a Boar and the third is Vishnu as the Boy Krishna.  Yogiños founder, Beth Reese does a fabulous job of intertwining yoga poses with the stories and includes clear alignment cues such as root to rise, hug the mid-line and shoulder blades on your back, thereby teaching body awareness and mindful practice of the poses.</p>
<p><a href="http://yogainmyschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/vishnu.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-7288" title="vishnu's ohmazing journeys" src="http://yogainmyschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/vishnu-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>A continual theme throughout all three stories is that of making &#8220;ohmazing&#8221; choices and trusting in your strong foundation in order to meet and overcome life&#8217;s challenges. The links between yoga practice on the mat and application in everyday life off the mat are clear, age appropriate and useful. In addition, Yogiños stays true to their tri-lingual base intertwining English, Spanish and Sanskrit throughout the DVD and including a full Spanish version.</p>
<p>The Bonus Tracks extend the educational aspect of the DVD expanding knowledge about the <a href="http://www.crowcollection.com/">Crow Collection of Art</a>, a herb garden and environmental conservation through <a href="http://www.prana.com/sustainability/natural-power-initiative">prAna&#8217;s Natural Power Initiative</a>.</p>
<p>I found this DVD ideal for tweens as it is smart, educational and culturally rich. I especially appreciated the beautifully performed story of Krishna and and Kaliya told through Indian dance. Enjoy this video trailer.</p>

Draw date Oct 28th, 2011.</em></p>
<p>Years ago when expecting my oldest I learned about the benefits and healing properties of essential oils. Quickly adopted into our household were lavender, eucalyptus, and chamomile. Then, this summer I discovered a fab company that uses these same oils and others in a variety of products to sooth and nourish the skin. <a href="http://www.lilyfern.ca/index.html">Lilyfern Botanicals</a> produces fabulous hand-crafted, natural skin care products that promote health and balance.</p>

<p>I was thrilled when given the <strong>Heal Baby Balm</strong> and <strong>Calm Baby Massage Oil </strong>for a review. Now, I no longer have an infant at home, but that didn&#8217;t stop the entire family from enjoying these beautifully blended products. Throughout the summer my kids loved using the balm on their mosquito bites: no sting and the itch was immediately gone. We also used the balm on scraped knees, sunburn, dry heals, cuticles and every other skin irritation imaginable. I was continually amazed at how versatile and effective it was and loved the fact that there were no chemicals or other nasty add-ins to harm my family.</p>
<p>The Calm Baby Massage Oil was equally as impressive. It has a lovely light scent and a little goes a long way. When they were little I used to give my babies a massage after every bath to calm and soothe them and really wish I had this handy pump dispenser filled with a mix of nourishing apricot kernel and sesame oil then. For this review I used it on all members  of my family and was impressed with its feel and texture during massage and will definitely be stocking up on more.</p>
<p>Lilyfern Botanicals has generously donated one <strong>Happy Baby Kit</strong> as a giveaway. The kit includes Heal Baby Balm (25ml), Calm Baby Massage Oil (30 ml), and Clean Baby Body Wash (250 ml).</p>

I couldn&#8217;t agree more.</p>
<p>A mala is a set of beads used during meditation or chanting in order to keep count of mantra recitation. They can be made of 19, 21, 27, 54 or 108 beads long. Jewels of Saraswati uses semi-precious stones to create one of a kind malas which you can custom order/create to your own tastes and preferences. Great care is taken with each piece produced and the high quality of craftsmanship is immediately evident. The <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/jewelsofsaraswati">entire range of jewelry</a>, which includes malas, necklaces, bracelets, earrings and purse charms, is inspired by yoga to provide you with something special for your life and yoga practice.</p>
<div id="attachment_7059" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 256px"><a href="http://yogainmyschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/CIMG2634.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7059" title="jewelsofsaraswati-earrings" src="http://yogainmyschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/CIMG2634-246x300.jpg" alt="" width="246" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">copper &amp; czech glass earrings</p></div>
<p>Jewels of Saraswati has generously donated a 27 bead hand-knotted chakra mala with a pewter peace charm to one lucky winner. <a href="http://yogainmyschool.com/2009/11/25/what-the-heck-are-chakras/">All of the 7 chakras </a>are represented by black obsidian, red jasper, aragonite, rose quartz, blue aventurine, rainbow fluorite and crystal quartz (see photo above). Enjoy the flowing, healing energy that comes from the beauty and usefulness of this mala. In addition, a second place winner will receive a pair of stunning copper and czech glass earrings.</p>
<p>Both of these would make ideal gifts for a special yogi this holiday season but, if you&#8217;re like me you&#8217;ll have to order more as all your friends will be requesting them.

Contest ends Friday, October 14th at 9:00 pm MDT. </em></p>
<p>The good folks over at <a href="http://addriya.com/">Addriya </a>have done it again. Created<a href="http://yogainmyschool.com/2011/01/26/abc-yoga-cards-for-kids-a-must-have-resource/"> another fab yoga card deck</a>, this time with a focus on small spaces.</p>
<p><a href="http://addriya.com/shop/yss-office-school-chair-yoga/">Yoga for Small Spaces</a> includes 52 large sized (5&#8243;x7&#8243;), heavy duty cards that can withstand lots of use. Each card features a yoga activity which can be done in a small space such as an office, classroom or airplane. The front of each card has a fun graphic which shows the pose and an object the pose is inspired by. The back is packed with information including step-by-step instructions, benefits, modifications and a positive affirmation.</p>
<p><a href="http://yogainmyschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/yoga-for-small-spaces-yss-001-smallspaces.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-7101" title="yoga-for-small-spaces-yss-001-smallspaces" src="http://yogainmyschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/yoga-for-small-spaces-yss-001-smallspaces-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a>One of the things I like best about the cards is the color coding system. Each card has a border which defines the health and behavior benefits such as <span style="color: #ff0000;">Red</span>: to help ground and support especially good for people that are nervous, anxious or fearful or <span style="color: #ff9900;">Yellow</span> to help foster self-esteem, risk-taking and leadership. I find this super helpful as a reference tool when preparing classes.</p>
<p>For years I have taught a popular <a href="http://yogainmyschool.com/servicescontact/inservice/">Yoga with a Chair</a> class in schools and for professional development workshops. Everyone is always amazed at the thorough and fun workout you can get by sitting in a chair. This yoga deck added to my repertoire of poses and is handy for a quick yoga game.</p>
<p>So if you think you can&#8217;t do yoga unless you move the furniture or have a yoga mat, block, strap and other props, think again. With<strong> Yoga for Small Spaces</strong> yoga can be done anywhere and the poses are ideal for all ages and abilities.</p>
<p><em></em>You can purchase your own deck for $19.99 from the <a href="http://addriya.com/shop/yss-office-school-chair-yoga/">Addriya on-line store</a>.</p>

<p>Children&#8217;s yoga expert<a href="http://yogainmyschool.com/2010/10/20/move-with-me-action-adventures-the-interview/"> Leah Kalish</a> along with a group of talented individuals have launched yet another well produced and extremely useful resource. <a href="http://www.move-with-me.com/">Move with Me Action Adventures </a>boasts 9 DVDs ideal for active indoor play for ages 3 to 7. With child friendly topics such as <em>Monkeying Around a the Zoo</em>, <em>Lost and Found in Africa</em>, and <em>Coral Reef</em> these DVDs appeal to young minds and help develop imagination and creativity.</p>
<p>Each story tells of an adventure taken by Scooter and the Boy. Children act out the adventure and are able to become various parts of the story including thunder, animals, flowers, motorcycles and so much more. Teacher Wendy is cheerful and energetic as she moves through the activities demonstrating each movement.</p>
<p><a href="http://yogainmyschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/move-with-me1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-7043" title="move-with-me" src="http://yogainmyschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/move-with-me1-300x216.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="216" /></a>I&#8217;m a firm believer in the power of story telling to assist in learning and love how Kalish and her team have developed these fun adventures using yoga poses, Brain Gym, Exercise Science and other modalities which address and develop the whole child. Individual DVDs take 20 minutes to complete which along with the story line and many fun activities keep children attentive and asking for more.

To enter leave a comment mentioning your child&#8217;s fave animal yoga pose. Contest ends Aug 26, 2011. This contest is now closed.<br />
</em></p>
<p>Meet Buzz. &#8220;Buzz is a curious little bee&#8221; and he wants to &#8220;bee a yogi.&#8221; To help him on his way, four friends (Dog, Cow, Cat and Frog) teach him their favourite poses. This is the idea behind<em> Buzz Learns Yoga! </em>by Kami Evans &amp; Jackie Y. Lee, the creative duo who strive to make yoga fun, interactive and meaningful to little yogis. Inspired by her daughter Hannah, Kami Evans became a certified kids yoga instructor with a specialty in yoga for children with special needs. (Read<a href="http://yogainmyschool.com/2010/09/01/yoga-for-special-needs-stretching-the-mind-and-body/"> her story</a>.) She founded <a href="http://www.elahiyoga.com/">Elahi Yoga</a> as a way to enrich all lives through creative movement and yoga.</p>
<p>Buzz was launched into the world in <em>Buzz Learns Yoga! </em>There are a number of things I like about this sweet, little book. First it&#8217;s short and ideally suited to the attention spans of young children. Second it&#8217;s colour rich as each animal/pose has an assigned colour (Cat = Orange, Frog = Green) which reinforces the poses in a visually appealing manner. Third, even though Buzz is the newest kid in yoga class he also has something to teach the more experienced yogis. The lesson &#8216;that everyone has something to offer&#8217; is one we all need to incorporate into our lives.</p>
<p><a href="http://yogainmyschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/elahi_yoga_workbook.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-6791 alignleft" title="elahi_yoga_workbook" src="http://yogainmyschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/elahi_yoga_workbook.jpg" alt="" width="189" height="189" /></a>The<em> Elahi Yoga Student Workbook</em> is another fab resource for pre-school children. Following the alphabet, animals are used as the basis for yoga inspired movements and poses: B for BEAR, N for NIGHTINGALE, U for UNICORN and 23 others.

<h5>Enter to win a copy of <em>Kids Teach Yoga: Flying Eagle DVD</em> by leaving a comment below mentioning one quality of an eagle which you admire.</h5>
<p><a href="http://www.yogacalm.org/">Yoga Calm&#8217;s</a> new DVD entitled <em>Kids Teach Yoga: Flying Eagle</em> is sure to captivate. Inspired by Ryley&#8217;s song about eagles (which is used during the guided relaxation at the end of the yoga class) <em>Flying Eagle</em> encourages children to identify with an eagle&#8217;s positive traits of vision, strength, freedom and gentleness.</p>
<p>I absolutely love that the entire class is inspired and led by children. Young Haley leads the class with poise, confidence and clarity. She hands off the teacher&#8217;s mat to student leaders who take over during various activities and who receive compliments for their efforts and willingness to lead. Haley is matter of fact with her presentation using vocabulary, poses and visualizations appropriate for an elementary aged audience. The children modeling the class represent average children everywhere and help to encourage all to participate and adopt a &#8220;can-do attitude.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://yogainmyschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/eagle-circle.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-6575 alignleft" title="eagle-circle" src="http://yogainmyschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/eagle-circle-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>The class itself is well thought out and includes breathing exercises with props (<a href="http://yogainmyschool.com/2010/08/26/my-favourite-yoga-prop-hoberman-sphere/">hoberman sphere</a> &amp; rock), floor work, standing poses, <a href="http://yogainmyschool.com/2009/08/27/yoga-applications-to-science-curriculum-sun-salutations/">sun salutations </a>with variations for ability &amp; strength, partner and group poses, reclined <a href="http://yogainmyschool.com/2010/07/05/seated-yoga-twists-for-kids/">twists </a>and a final relaxation. There are 15 different activities in 20 minutes which may feel a little fast but which provides great opportunities to pause and explore at your leisure before pressing play to continue. Other kids will find the pace perfect to keep them engaged and active.</p>
<p>In addition to the yoga class there are also short bonus segments including:</p>
<ol>
<li>a talk about eagles by naturalist Steve Engel of the Audubon Society</li>
<li>an interview with Lynea &amp; Jim Gillen, founders of Yoga Calm</li>
<li>a Focusing Fun Silent Ball activity with ADHD expert Dr Jeff Sosne to build focus and encourage eye contact.</li>
</ol>

<p>A new super hero is ready to squash harmful stress in Young Yoga Master&#8217;s <a href="http://www.youngyogamasters.com/kids-yoga-teacher-training/yoga-man/">Yoga Man vs The Stressor Sun Salutation Training Package</a>. Taking her cue from comic books superheros Aruna Kathy Humphrys has created a child friendly, adventuresome and entertaining way to help children learn not only the poses which make up <a href="http://yogainmyschool.com/2009/08/27/yoga-applications-to-science-curriculum-sun-salutations/">Surya Namaskar</a> but also to teach them correct breathing, mental discipline and stress reduction principles.</p>
<p>This extensive package includes 112 pages filled with well prepared, age appropriate information and useful print-ables such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Colouring Book: full page and quarter page versions of each pose</li>
<li>Handout Activities: matching, fill in the blank, etc.</li>
<li>Teacher&#8217;s Aid: with alignment details to ensure proper execution of each pose</li>
<li>Pose Manual: detailed instructions including colour photos of boys performing the poses, precautions and super hero verbal cues ex: &#8220;Activate your core muscles at your &#8216;Power Centre&#8217;.&#8221;</li>
<li>Games &amp; Activities: 11 games to teach and expand application of Sun Salutations</li>
<li>Secrets of the Sun Salutation: insight into our relationship with the sun and the light of consciousness</li>
</ul>
<p>My favourite part of the package is the Games &amp; Activities which provide creative ways to teach children about stress and ways to deal with it in their lives. Varying in duration (15-60 mins) each game is inspired by Sun Salutations, use the pose cards from the Colouring Book, and include reflection questions to deepen and expand the practice. The 11th Bonus Activity encourages groups to perform 108 Sun Salutations and provides instructions and hints on how to successfully hold a yoga fund raiser with kids.</p>
<p>Humphrys has taken a theme and developed it to the hilt. Boys everywhere will connect with Yoga Man in this classic battle of good vs evil. As they learn Sun Salutations children will become superheros and develop the skills to conquer The Stressor in their own lives.</p>
