Description of the material

A message in a bottle, a rainbow caterpillar and dancing fireflies play the leading roles in these children's yoga stories. Others take you to a fairytale farm, under an apple tree in autumn or to Hanne Hare, who paints Easter eggs with her nose. At every marked point, the children themselves become a tree, dolphin, beetle or star. Because each story includes picture cards, a presentation, an audio version and a video, you can read them aloud, play them or show them on a projector. What is more important than perfect posture is feeling your own body, whether in primary school or at home.

This is included:

  • Yoga story "The Best School Day"
  • Yoga story "Autumn Under the Apple Tree"
  • Yoga story "The Star Collectors"
  • Yoga story "Crazy Easter Painting"
  • Yoga story "The Treasure Hunt"
  • Yoga story "A Fairytale Farm Visit"

The foreword and instructions show several ways to implement each story.

Possibilities for use in physical education

  • The Star Collectors, which end in bed, are ideal as a calm conclusion to a gymnastics lesson.
  • The Best School Day is perfect for a movement break in the classroom, because it takes place right there.
  • Autumn Under the Apple Tree and the Easter painting accompany the school year; after autumn, the class can talk about insect hotels and wildflower meadows.
  • During the video on the projector, a pause at each exercise helps everyone take the posture in peace.

Learning objectives and skills promoted

  • Balance: stand securely on one leg as a tree or in a lunge as a hero
  • Flexibility: bend and stretch as a caterpillar, bridge, beetle or hedgehog
  • Listening and implementing: show the right exercise at the right place in the story
  • Relaxation: breathe calmly and let go at the end
  • Reflection: talk about environmental protection, helping animals and your greatest treasure

There is more children's yoga with the Yoga Picture Cards, Partner Yoga and the Yoga Advent Calendar.

Have fun trying it out and immersing yourself in the stories!
