Yoga & Pilates for Children - Kids Yoga

Yoga For Kids by Bell Gibbs - Book

The stretching and strengthening techniques used in yoga are an ideal way for children to grow flexible and strong. More than this, yoga teaches self-awareness, and can help to build confidence and promote overall well-being.

Yoga for Kids is a practical workbook aimed at children of all physical abilities from the age of three upwards. Through a mixture of simple exercises, animal poses, meditation and game-playing, the book shows children what yoga can do for them, and how much fun it can be.

With techniques and postures to practise on their own or with parents, brothers and sisters or friends, the book shows children how to make yoga a part of everyday life. Over 350 colour photographs in step-by-step sequences form an easy and failsafe teaching course.

While yoga will help to build supple muscles and flexible joints, it is also about positive thinking, self-confidence and inner calm: hyperactive, non-athletic or shy children will all benefit from the expression of feeling and imagination through movement that yoga brings.

Beautifully presented with full-colour photographs and charming illustrations, this expertly written book introduces children of all ages to the concept and practice of yoga in the most enjoyable way.

Guided Relaxation for Teenagers

Edna Reinhardt

This CD recording consists of seven tracks.

The first is a brief introduction.

The second track is called body preparation and consists of a series of very gentle movements that are designed to enhance the listeners understanding of deep muscle relaxation and mind body connection. It is also good for those who are not yet ready to lie completely still.

The third track is a progressive muscle relaxation.

The fourth, fifth and sixth tracks are simple and effective breathing exercises.

The last track is a deep relaxation exercise allowing the listener to sleep after it.

Why for teenagers? This recording can be used by adults and teenagers alike. The recording is neither patronising nor too esoteric for the average teenager. There is no dogma or belief system. It is simply about being in the moment.

It is based on Edna’s 35 years experience of conducting yoga and relaxation classes for teenagers.

Meditation for Children

Patrice Thomas

This delightful, easy to use CD gives parents, teachers and carers a simple and effective way to introduce the regular pratice of relaxation to children by resting, calming and rejuvenating their bodies, minds and spirits.

The meditation stories have been successfully used in day care centres, preschools and primary schools as the imagery and fantasy on each track appeals to children’s sense of wonder. Using the breath and lying still whilst listening to a meditation story accompanied by gentle music, children from 3 years through to early teens can learn how to soothe and calm themselves. These benefits can be transferred when they feel upset, angry or “out of sorts”. Perfect to use at home, school or in childcare settings to help children become more resilient, competent, calm and positive in facing the challenges of an increasingly stressful world.
