4th Grade Health Resources

Make shapes fun with yoga. Enjoy this fun activity our founder has been doing in classes since 2009! Shapes are all around us, and we can even make shapes with our bodies.

Use this activity packet to inspire littles ones to explore the world around us with math and shapes.

For years I’ve taught this class to toddlers, preschoolers and kindergarteners. It’s perfect for early childhood or group where big kids support younger kids. If you have mixed ages, or are working with first or second graders, you can make it interesting by focusing on the number of sides in a shape and placing the poses in order based on the number of sides in the shape. Remember to have fun, allow for mistakes, review the shapes and poses in a light hearted way, and make the children feel like shapes, math, and yoga are their friends.

Let’s Make Shapes! is a 17-page PDF download that you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print to paper.

This activity packet includes:

• Yoga pose cards for six (6) shapes and games to play
• Detailed instruction for the yoga poses, written for kids
• Facilitated discussion prompts, breathing exercises and a mindfulness activity
• Crafts and coloring pages related to shapes
• Shapes Yoga poster

Made for educators

Includes two specially designed yoga lesson plans that can be taught to kids ages 7-11 and 11-14.

In yoga, the Yamas & Niyamas are a moral code of conduct, a guideline for how to live. Together, the Yamas & Niyamas help us to make careful decisions about how to think, speak, and behave. This foundational thinking prepares children to form healthy relationships with themselves and others.

This bundle includes two (2) lesson units:

1. Yamas & Niyamas Teen Unit is 47-page PDF download directed at teenagers
2. Yamas & Niyamas Kid Unit is a 48-page PDF download directed at kids ages 7-11

Both units are a PDF download which you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print out onto paper.

This bundle contains twenty (20) lesson plans that can be used as a yoga class series, or easily incorporated into the school classroom. Adults can facilitate conversations, games, activities, and yoga experiences that give children concrete information about each of the Yamas & Niyamas.  

Each lesson plan breaks down one of the Yamas or Niyamas and includes; introduction to that specific core value, a discussion guide, small group work or activity, breathing exercises and yoga poses to challenge and engage children.

How can kids benefit from learning about the yamas and niyamas? Our founder Lara Hocheiser discusses how to apply the principles of yamas and niyamas to children ages 7-11 in Yamas and Niyamas Webinar for Kids.
