Partnering with Girl Scouts

1200px-Girl_Scouts_of_the_USA.svgLast night I got to hang out with some awesome seven and eight year old Girl Scouts to work on a yoga badge. I offered storytime yoga for a number of years as a children’s librarian and the troop leaders asked if I could help them out.
 
I wanted to focus on empowerment and body image and strength (all things that coincide with yoga really nicely). So here’s what we did:
Sun Salutations

Discussed what we like most about ourselves and what makes us awesome

Although the kids had a TON of energy, I hope they got a little something out of fun program – about what it takes to strong, kind and classy woman!
