MY BOOK OF YOGA & EXPRESSIVE MOVEMENT

Follow along our movement journey through jungles, mountains, and forests! In this book, we relate instructional yoga poses with adventurous metaphors, along with statements of positive self-talk for a whole-child wellbeing experience.
 
Use the free music download to accompany the book with sounds from the scenes to bring the book alive, flowing into an optional imaginative meditation exercise.  A great way to start or end the day, or use as a transition activity.
 
Yoga and expressive movement allow children to explore their feelings and their relationship with the world around them. Let’s use movement to strengthen, relax and energise our bodies through a journey of drama, and adventure.
 
My Book of Yoga & Expressive Movement is a fantastic resource for teachers who want to introduce yoga and movement to their class. Each page has clear explanations and photographs of a pose and its extension movement. Instructions can be easily read out loud by any teacher whether they have experience or not and the photographs illustrate the beginning, middle, and end of each pose. Children will quickly follow the photo prompts.
 
Additional information focuses on feelings, listening to the body, indulging the senses. This topic is suited to intentional teaching and focused movement activities that encourage positive mental health and resilience. My Book of Yoga & Expressive Movement is suitable for use in the Early Years and Primary for group discussion, learning and inspiration and has free music.
