Re-enacting the story with yoga
Storytime Yoga is a ritual. A live performance class in which a storytelling yoga teacher invokes participation from within to experience yoga.
These days where everything is watched or consumed, Storytime Yoga kids and parents actively participate in everything. There's no book. Everything is oral. That leaves yoga to be experienced in ways no other kids yoga class can! From the inside out!
In so many ways they benefit! They must listen. They must create original pictures within. They must answer questions. They move and participate and become the story. Become the character. Like a dream, all aspects of the story are parts of themselves, and they find union with it and awareness of their own lives. Yoga!
The following are pictures from the Storytime Yoga, Mythic Yoga Weekend and Family Class at Breathe Yoga Center in Norfolk, Virginia this November. We had a fabulous time and I will be returning this year for another one! I used the story of The Peddler's Dream. Watch a video of the walking meditation game!
Creating ritual, creating community. Live performance classes spellbind kids and pitch them out of the ordinary.
Storytime Yoga warm ups with story! The Seashore warm up!
Lots of moms and kids!
Listening to stories together develops attention, imagination, original thinking, creativity and relationships.
Stories and relaxation connect kids and parents! Sleepytime Yoga™ does the trick! Learn how!
Relaxation. Everybody loves it! Especially when it includes imagery!
Kids benefit in so many ways as the ritual comes to an end and they leave the Queen of Bohemias Little Lotus Space and re-enter the ordinary world again renewed and refreshed, enchanted, educated and entertained. As well as enlightened!
