Let’s Make Shapes! Yoga & Mindfulness

By Lara Hocheiser

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

Kids Yoga Spring Sequence Pose Cards & Crafts

By Lara Hocheiser

As the winter days wind down and the spring weather approaches, many come out of hibernation. The spring season is often a time for children to play outside, participate in outdoor sports, and just enjoy the feeling of being outside in the fresh air. However, during this warm and bright season, it can also be a time of anxiety for children. Children in the upper elementary and middle school grades typically take standardized testing, which is mandated by the state. The months of April and May can actually be quite daunting for some students, which is why this spring yoga sequence is such a great addition to children’s routine. In teaching students yoga poses and breathing techniques, not only can they learn something new but they can also learn techniques that can help ease their stress and anxiety, especially when it may come to test taking. 

The Spring Sequence is a 20 page PDF download which you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print out onto paper. We recommend cutting out each card and taping/gluing on a 4x6 index card or card stock. For added durability, laminate each card. 

Includes:

  • Printable yoga deck to learn 5 yoga poses
  • Full-page spring sequence yoga poster
  • Three spring crafts with printables to get creativity flowing
  • Printable journal to reflect on your practice

Perfect for practicing anywhere! Use this deck at home, school, park, or when traveling!
