You may have heard that yoga isn’t just for hippies and exercise junkies. It isn’t even exclusively for adults! Kids can do yoga too, it turns out, and in Creative Yoga for Children Adrienne Rawlinson explains how. The following television interviews, on Canada AM and Global TV, illustrate the health and learning benefits that yoga can have on early child development, as told by the author herself with the help—I might add—of some pretty cute assistants.

FREE BONUS MATERIAL:
Sample Activity [from Creative Yoga for Children]: Yoga bingo. Give out a bingo card and a handful of counters to each child. Tell them that they play this game just as they do regular bingo, but on every square of their cards, they will see a pose. Tell them that if you call out that pose, they should cover it with their counter and do the pose as well. When their whole card is covered, they may yell, “Bingo!” Pull the yoga poses out of the pose object bag, one at a time, calling them out. When one child has completed his or her card, continue calling more poses until everyone is finished. The prize will be for everyone, and it is something that they can make.
Time: Approx. Ten Minutes
