Yoga can surprise us in our abilities sometimes. A bit a self compassion, belief and support from our buddies can help us to achieve great things!
These Year 7 and 8 students had fun hanging around upside down last week 😆

Affirmations and yoga poses go together to create a perfect flow to start your day.
Students enjoy moving their bodies while setting up a positive mindset for their day ahead. It's a great one for teachers too 🤩
Remember to stretch both sides of the body when doing each pose.

YOGA IS FOR EVERYONE 🧘‍♀️ 🧘‍♂️
Practicing yoga and mindfulness at a preschool level has many benefits. Children use music, props and play to practice:
Breathing deeply
Being aware of their body
Balance and coordination
Focus and concentration
Having fun and using their imagination

Many of us are focusing on building relationships in our classrooms this term. This is a nice whakatauki to share with your students.

Whakawhetai - Gratitude ⭐
Practicing gratitude regularly allows us to appreciate the world around us and can improve our metal wellbeing. The more we think positive, grateful thoughts, the healthier and happier we feel.
We practice gratitude in my yoga and mindfulness sessions. The students look forward to it and enjoy listening to each other's ideas.
For preschoolers and younger students, instead of ¨I am grateful for ..." we start with ¨What makes me happy?¨
Here are a few ways to practice gratitude in your classroom.

Mindful Monday
Some of us are starting back at school this week. There are a lot of emotions for teachers, students and parents at this time. Take a breath and enjoy the first week back.

What a great way to kick off the year with a bit of yoga at Caroline Bay. I had the privilege of taking the staff from Grantlea Downs School through a gentle yoga flow ahead of their planning day. Thanks for being such good sports😊

Rock Painting 🎨
Another mindful activity that all ages seem to enjoy.
I like to paint my rocks white first and then draw on them with sharpie or painting pens. Sharpies are great to use for little hands and smaller rocks.
Mindfulness - notice the rocks
Colour
Temperature
Texture
Weight

Write an inspirational message on it and put it in your pocket for when you need a calming influence 🤩

Sugar Scrub 💫
Students who take part in the Warrior 3 class will be discussing different ways to boost their mood and look after themselves. They will be making sugar scrub to take home and use as a special treat. I am loving mine!! It also makes a great gift 😊
