Yoga for Tamariki 101- Professional Development for Teachers with Yogi Kids

Every child has the right to health and well-being, and teachers are at the fore-front of enabling these rights to be enacted. Save the Children Aotearoa and Yogi Kids, would like to present this professional development opportunity to teachers across the country, to provide breath, yoga and mindfulness in their classrooms, while building strength, balance and gross motor skills for tamariki in ECE and lower primary settings.

We are excited to invite you to our online workshop, joining Michaela Sangl, NZ Children's Yoga expert, for an immersive, fun-filled workshop on how to share Story Yoga with your tamariki. Yogis are EXPLORERS – curiosity and imagination are key!

Spaces for this online workshop are strictly limited! If you have missed out on a spot, please get in touch at education@scnz.org,nz to join our cancellation waitlist.

"We will explore how foundational yoga poses can be modified to become all sorts of yoga animals, familiar objects and natural elements. These form our building blocks for STORY YOGA ADVENTURES! (You may become a singing butterfly, a rainbow and a washing machine all within minutes!) We also look at age-appropriate breathing techniques to calm or energize wee bodies. I will then take you on an exciting Yoga Journey that includes yoga songs, group and partner poses and creative visualisation to get you started. I am confident that you will love it! "- Michaela
