Yoga eases kids fears during the storm

I recently had one of the Mums share a beautiful story with me about how her girls used what they have learnt in their Body Yoga Kids classes to calm themselves during the recent storms we had.  This is their story – written by Tayla (8-12yo class) and Ava (5-8 class).

“Last Wednesday night there was a big storm, we were very scared and we were crying. Mum thought we should do some savasana in bed to calm down. We hopped into Ava’s bed together, mum put on our meditation cd and then we asked mum to tell us a storey about putting all our bad thoughts into a balloon, holding the string tight and then letting it go so that the balloon would float away with all our bad thoughts in it. Then we imagined a beautiful rainbow and now we felt happy and calm so we could go to sleep! ”          Tayla and Ava  - Berwick

When asked what yoga meant to them, this is what some of the replies were:

“Yoga means to me patience and relaxation.  It calms me down whenever I am stressed or worried about something.  When I come to yoga all the problems or things I am worried about go away.  What I like about yoga is experiencing the poses and getting to share anything that is on my mind that I need help with.  I love yoga! It’s the best!”       Caitlin 10 yo – Narre Warren

“Yoga means to me nice and relaxing. I have improved by going to sleep at 2.00am and now I am getting to sleep at 9.30pm.”     Shaylyn 8yo- Pakenham

“Yoga is very fun and relaxing.  It helps me with my breathing and if I have a problem yoga calms me down.  In yoga you do lots of poses that are fun and the relaxing at the end of class is really beautiful”   Sarah 10 yo – Narre Warren

“It means to me I can sleep better.  My favourite thing to do is play games for example playing on the ropes!” Tess 8yo – Upper Beaconsfield

“To me, yoga is my time to relax and just be myself.  Yoga is very special to me and it helps me a lot, seeing that I play a lot of sports.  It relaxes and soothes your muscles and most of all I LOVE IT! “  Grace 12yo – Berwick
