Yoga In The Park

Veenu is a yoga instructor brought from India by the Indian Embassy of Stockholm to spread the yoga practice in Sweden.  We are lucky in that she will be joining us once a week to teach the children yoga.  This particular week, the peacocks and flamingos participated in yoga in the park.  The children were very attentive and determined to try all of the poses.  

Purpose: 

to develop the children's self control and body awareness

to develop the children's ability to follow directions

Connection to the Lpfö: 

The preschool should strive to develop each child's: 

motoric, coordination and understanding of their bodies as well as an understanding of the importance of taking car of their health and well-being.

Yoga

This morning we had a calming yoga, and easy positions that suits everyone in the group. We started to stretch our bodies and some breathing exercises that led to bending our heads down to our knees and lying on our backs and lifting our legs up in the sky. The children thought it was fun having an activity that the whole group can participate in. In the end we were sitting in a circle and put our hands together and said “Namaste” out loud.

Purpose

Learning yoga, and relaxing our body and mind
