By Lara Hocheiser, Flow and Grow Kids Yoga Founder and Teacher Trainer Last Thursday, we wrapped up the Self-Care for Children module. It's one of eleven modules in our 95-hour Children's Yoga Teacher Training. Trainees received manuals with a framework for Self-Care for Children -- one that includes meditation, rest, breath, movement, nutrition, pro-social activities, and more. It came with more than 10 worksheets that children can use. Trainees also received the My Body and Caring for Myself curriculum, to have a yoga practice lesson plan unit revolving around the self-awareness and introspection that's at the heart of yoga and mindfulness practice. Participants broke into groups to discuss the children and settings they teach in. Each person determined how self-care would factor into their classes. For example, the early childhood teachers would sprinkle this knowledge throughout their classes. Tween and
