Last 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 Read aloud: One by Kathryn Otoshi Discussed the story and talked about what makes us feel strong and what we’re good at doing and being. Strength Poses: Mountain Pose Warrior I Warrior II Warrior III Mountain Pose (repeat for balance) Read aloud: Zero by Kathryn Otoshi Discussed what we like most about ourselves and what makes us awesome Relaxation Poses: Bridge Happy Baby Pull Right/Left Knee to Chest Deep Breathing with quiet music 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!
