Celebrate the beauty of spring and transform a regular ‘ole Easter Basket into a fun and engaging kids yoga lesson. This kids yoga lesson cultivates a healthy body and mind, get kids active, connects movement and breath while honoring the symbols of spring.
What you need:
- Easter Basket
- 12 large plastic Easter Eggs
- Easter Basket Kids Yoga Lesson Plan (see below)
Print onto cardstock the visuals for the 12 kids yoga poses from the Easter Basket Kids Yoga Lesson Plan. Cut out and laminate for durability. (I use this lesson plan lots in the weeks leading to Easter so laminating is a must).
Invite individual children to pick an egg from your basket and open it.
Practice each yoga pose encouraging creativity, exploration and fun. Finish class by inviting children to come into a comfortable position (seated or lying down) and share the Fruitful Tree Guided Visualization included in the lesson plan.
