Teaching Children

As part of my wonderful training a www.gobodhiyoga.com I am trained to teach yoga for children if I so choose. 

I have experience teaching young children dance and what I have learned is that the format is very similar. 

A kids yoga class should be structured according to the child's age & attention span. A class for a 3 year old would be different than a class for an 8 year old. : )

I have wondered whether I should offer kids yoga classes in my yoga business.  For a while,  I thought it wasn't my cup of tea. Then when I realized that I already know how to structure a kids class it dawned on me- maybe I should consider it! 

If it is anything like teaching dance to children,  I think it could be very rewarding.  My students exhaust me, but they also inspire me.

Isn't it funny how dance & yoga seem to intertwine in my life? I can't get rid of them. They're too much a part of my heart. Teaching children could be a part of them both for me.

Well, back to the meditation pillow, and of course back to work.

Till next time.
