Contemplating the coccyx brings out the deep nature in all of us. What is the story in your body?

Use this warm-up with kids using eagle pose, garudasana. I used a fun folk toy I picked up in Mexico to sing the folk song of Los Pollitos Dicen. I asked kids to join in the chant of pio pio pio. I explained the meaning of the Spanish words and most kids had heard this song before. This pose develops balance and is great for the shoulders. I don’t worry if they can’t do the pose, it’s about getting kids into their bodies and having fun! I use lots of breath awareness and show the movements very slowly for the preschool kids. Enjoy!

Bring folk music to life by adding a chant and movement! I translated and retold this classic Latin American folk tale of Chumba la Cachumba as The Skeletons’ Ball for our October Storytime Yoga Kids Club feature. This is the live version told at my daughter’s school for their Halloween party! Subscribe to the Storytime Yoga Kids Club to receive the version filmed in Barcelona, Spain and other wonderful materials to make Halloween fun with story and yoga!
