Stories like:
The Peddler\u2019s Dream from England about following your dreams

Yoga and Storytelling for Children<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children also learn yoga philosophy, peace and character education through storytelling. Plus, songs, story warm-ups, story meditations, games, musical instruments, rhythms and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Childhood is the perfect time to develop a lifetime of healthy skills. Readily flexible in mind and body, children are naturally receptive to yoga and story. In Storytime Yoga, children become storytellers as they learn about their bodies, feelings and relationships to develop self-confidence, self-worth, self-reliance, a vivid and creative imagination, and health and joy \u2014 all part of a rich inner life that yoga, meditation and story connect with. These are the tools for success and happiness in adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As adults we can foster these tools by being examples ourselves. We accomplish this by practicing yoga, taking care of ourselves mentally and physically, and sharing story and time with our children and other loved ones. When there is love and peace for ourselves, then there is nothing but love and peace for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s join together to raise happy children in healthy families all while healing ourselves and realizing our own potential. Here\u2019s to kid\u2019s yoga!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May there be peace in your heart and peace on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Namaste<\/strong><\/em>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
