These Powerful Questions Work Really Well in Kids Yoga

This summer I decided to put away my phone, take a social media hiatus, and go on some self-paced retreats.  These have really helped me enter relaxation mode and it feels amazing.

Last month, we were lucky enough to book an Ontario Provincial Park campsite. The fire pit on this site faced a grove of trees that felt like a magical forest. 

I set up my camp chair to face this forest and it became my spot to sit, watch, listen, breathe, meditate.  I watched trees transformed by sunlight, observed mist weave through trunks and ground cover, and followed birds hunting and pecking for food.  

This Rose-breasted Grossbeak hopped right in front of me during tea time.

I spotted 3 kinds of woodpeckers (pileated, red bellied, flicker) and a grossbeak too!  Some of these birds stayed amongst the low branches, while others lived in the treetops, making only brief appearances. 

Every time I looked into this magical forest, I felt tension draining out of my entire being.

A few friends visited us and I watched them sit in my meditation spot looking at their phones. I tried joking about the world wide web made by the Daddy Long-leg spiders, and encouraged them to look for rare forest birds.  But for some, the pull of the phone was just too strong.

We struck up a lot of good conversations in front of that forest, getting to hear how everyone managed during the pandemic.  Each person had a unique story.

One dear friend expressed a difficulty reconnecting with others because it seemed as if people had lost their conversation skills and their curiosity about others. She felt this made it hard to keep a conversation going.  

Maybe people became accustomed to isolation?  The instant gratification of scrolling, doesn’t require much curiosity. Maybe the lack of questions comes from a fear of crossing a line and asking something too personal?

I contemplated my own curiosity on my retreat. What did I want to find out next? What did I want to explore?  

Connect with Kids by asking questions and listening to their answers to build trust in the class.

Encourage Self-Awareness and Confidence with Your Questions

Right now, there are places in the world where children are not allowed to question. Their curiosity is discouraged. I remembered my trip to the Himalayas where I saw young Tibetan monks debating each other on philosophy. Debating was part of the learning process.

I thought of my own experiences as a child and as a seeker, when questions were shrugged off with memorized answers, they weren’t really explored.

As I looked into the forest at a bird flitting from tree to tree, I thought about the value of curiosity for survival. 

How I hope children will question what I teach them. I want them to learn through their own experience and understanding. I want their questions to mean I’m doing my job well!!!

And I want to be able to question freely too, without fear of being shut out of the yoga community or any community for that matter.

I also contemplated how questions help me teach a kids yoga class.  

We had some wonderful family time during our time away and got to introduce our niece and nephew to camping. I love how curious children are when they explore nature and make new friends.

3 Questions to ask In Every Kids’ Yoga Class

There are 3 questions I ask in every single class in some form or another.  Not only do I ask these questions in every class, I probably ask them multiple times, in different ways. 

They are meant to help kids develop self-awareness, the habit of checking in with themselves and understanding themselves.

Here are my 3 questions.

Question 1: Is there anything you want to do to feel more comfort?

This question is the result of moving away from alignment-based teaching and towards functional and accessible movement.  When I first started teaching, we were taught that the placement of the feet, knees, and arms was paramount. 

Fortunately, I learned to shift and consider that each person has their own unique way to feel comfortable.  This question helps children take ownership of their practice.  It seems to help, one parents discovered her son practicing meditation in his bedroom because he was sad and wanted to feel better. Another child was found doing a yoga pose to help them concentrate while studying. The children learned to choose tools to feel better.

During a Pose like Warrior Pose, check in with children and see how they can feel more comfort. They may switch arm or leg positions, or maybe even back up a bit, but when they are having fun, like in this practicum during the training, the kids usually want to be close!

What about you?  Is there anything you want to do to feel more comfort? Try taking a deep breath and asking yourself if there anything you can do to tend to your needs in this moment. Then make any adjustment you want.

Question 2: What is your breath like?

I also ask different questions about the breath in class as well.  Are you breathing or holding your breath? Is your breath relaxed?  Can you keep breathing smoothly? Can you hear your breath? What temperature is your breath? When children bring awareness to the breath, we are doing yoga, no matter what the pose looks like.

3. Do you want a rest? 

I ask this one after we’ve done a few yoga poses to help me pace the class. 

As you may know from your own yoga practice, sometimes you string a few yoga poses together, then there are times when you rest in easy pose or child’s pose before doing the next pose.  That’s what this question is about.  

Kids often have a lot of energy and they don’t want to rest at first, so we’ll put a few poses together.  Then after a while I’ll see their breath becoming more laboured, their arms hanging lower, or they come out of pose faster.  That’s when I ask, “Do you want a rest?” 

Sometimes everyone says no, sometimes yes, and sometimes there’s a mix.  If they want a rest, they’ll watch for a bit, those that don’t, can join in right away. 

The children learn that they can push themselves, knowing they can take a rest when they want to.  Near the end of class, as I hear more yes answers, I start to wrap up the class with a, “Two more poses to the big rest.” The children know I never skip the big rest, so they put what energy they have into the last part and then we’ll rest for a short or long song, again giving children the choice to rest or do a meditation to the music.

I’ve found these 3 questions extremely useful as a kids’ yoga teacher and I’m curious if you’ve tried them and how they work for you.

Ask Me Anything Check-In

In the spirit of curiosity, our Monthly Check-In for new and experienced Kids Yoga Teachers for July 2021 will be an Ask Me Anything session.

Some good questions came into my inbox while I was away, questions about insurance, waivers, and finding new business after moving.  I’ll answer as many questions as I can and open up questions for your input, maybe even some debate.

In the small group breakout rooms, think of a question you’d like the other teachers you meet to answer. What would you like to find out about them in terms of kids’ yoga?

What will people want to know about you?

And a big shout out to all the teachers in these images from our Kids Yoga Teacher Training practicum classes. I hope to see you at the monthly check-in!!!

Try this One Minute Meditation to Breathe and Listen to the Forest is from the magical forest where I did my daily meditation.


Next month, I’ll be heading out for another self-paced retreat and hope to have more time to look into the forest and wonder.

A Valentine Day Surprise In Kids Yoga Class

Show You Care on Valentine’s Day.

yoga for children on Valentine's DayLast week I got a nice surprise from one of the kids at the end of yoga class that would be a great surprise for your kids for Valentine’s Day to truly show you care.

First, a bit about last week’s surprise, which came on a day that should have been a snow day. 30 centimeters (about 12″) of snow kept falling and falling, making the roads and sidewalks super slippery.  Half the kids were absent.  But school was on so I braved the storm and went to teach yoga.

Second, you have to know that in my toddler yoga class we finish with the toddlers coming up for a hug, it’s a little routine we all love.  This study shows how Depriving Babies of Cuddles Does Long Term Harm.  Hugging is an acceptable practice with this age group.

Try Bicycle Legs for Valentine’s Yoga Class

Also know, two weeks ago, 7 kids moved from the toddler room (walking – 36 months) to the preschool room (3 – 5 yrs).  In the preschool room  hugs are not part of the routine, teachers reduce hugging as the kids get older.

The Spontaneous Hug

However, the day of the storm, with so many children away,  and so many new toddlers there, spontaneous hugging broke out at the end of the preschool yoga class.

Now, here’s where I got surprised. It was something a 4 year old boy said.  He kept coming back for more hugs. Every time a space opened up in front of me, there he was with a big smile and his arms out.  This continued until all the kids who wanted a hug got a hug.  The boy probably had five hugs and remained alone with a big smile. He said, “Can you stay all day and give me hugs?”

The reason I was surprised was because that type of big statement is usually the kind I make.  He had taken my line!

A Fun Classroom Management Tip

Whenever the kids ask for something, if I can’t give them what they want for real, I give them what they ask for in a wish or a fantasy.  It’s a trick I learned in this this wonderful classroom management book.

So if the kids say something like:

Kids: “No, don’t end class. Can we do one more song?”

I’ll respond:  “Wouldn’t  it be great if I could stay all day and we could do yoga and songs all day!”

To which they all cheer, YES!

I agree that it would be awesome and once that feeling is acknowledged by all of us, it is much easier to say, “Alas, there are other kids waiting for their yoga class.”

Granting Wishes as Classroom Management

Giving kids what they want in a Wish is an effective strategy for classroom management.  Without it I don’t know how I’d deal with all the kids’ requests I receive. Here’s another common example:

Child:  “Miss Yoga, can we do (kids suggestion of a pose or activity) now!”

Wish Granting Yoga Teacher:  “Would you like to have a class where you got to pick all the poses?”

Child:  “Yes!”

Wish Granting Yoga Teacher:  “That would be fun.  I’ll plan a class like that another time.  Now lets do (the lesson plan).”

It’s much easier to move on when the feeling has been acknowledged.  So I was surprised when the boy went straight to the big wish.

Acknowledging Feelings as Classroom Management

Try mini pyramids for Valentine’s Day, either kneeling or standing. Make sure you have mats or a spotter.

Usually I’m the one taking it up a notch, now here stands this 4 year old with his big wish: “Can you stay all day and give me hugs?”

Do you know what I said?

“I wish I could because I really like being with you.”

I got one more hug, and then the boy joined the line-up leaving for playtime in the gym. I didn’t need to say anything else.

On days like this, even with a miserable snow storm going on, it feels like teaching kids yoga is the greatest job on earth.

For Valentine Day this week consider surprising your kids by granting them a wish or a fantasy. Just like in yoga, acknowledging feelings helps release resistance and everyone feels good.

Be Clear on What You Want in Kids Yoga Training

This guest post is by Bekah Starr of Sproutin’ Yoga.  She explains why she registered for our training this weekend even though she’s been teaching kids for five years.  She also gives you two new classroom management tips and shares the challenges she still experiences as a teacher (and she’s not alone!).

It’s not as easy as it seems to get kids on their yoga mats.

Be Clear on What You Want in Kids Yoga Training

by Bekah Starr, Kids Yoga Teacher

Even though I’m trained as a Hatha/ Vinyasa yoga teacher for adults, I’ve been teaching kids yoga for about 5 years now instead.  Why? I find it to be lighter, less serious, more fun!

The joy and excitement that kids bring to everything lights me up everyday and I feel truly blessed to offer the teachings of yoga to kids in “kid sized” portions.

I also have to admit; I understand yoga and the philosophies of yoga much more since I’ve been teaching kids. Somehow breaking down the concepts for kids makes it easier for me to understand too. Maybe it doesn’t have to be so complicated after all…

Challenge: Kids Off their Mats and Running Around

Don’t get me wrong; teaching kids also has its challenges. Children can be much less forgiving than adults.  If I don’t plan well and keep them interested they get bored VERY easily.  And once they’re gone, they’re gone. They’re off running around the studio, playing tag and such, even though there is a rule to “stay on your mat.”

While it is nice to keep it simple, less complicated, and less serious then you might with adults, the rules can get lost with all the innovation and creativity.

So this weekend I’m excited to be traveling from Buffalo, USA to Toronto, Canada for the Young Yoga Masters Kids Yoga Teacher Training.

I want Training for New Games and Classroom Management Tips

I’m making the weekend investment because I gotta find lots of creative ways to impart new ideas and concepts.  My hope is that at the Young Yoga Masters weekend I’ll learn some new ways to share yoga with kids, new games and fun ways to teach. And to discover how to keep the children on their mats!  Is that possible? J

One thing I use now that works well is breath.  Doesn’t that work for you too? Take a deep breath.  It’s universal, it really is.  I use breathing a lot in my classes and it seem to work well, especially when I have the kids make wind with their breath.  Sometimes I use books to illustrate a theme in class and I have them stay focused by making wind with their breath and blowing the next page open.

A Handy Tool I Use Now for Classroom Management

Let’s take for example my 3-4 year old classes, I teach 3 of these a week.  This past week particularly has been a hard week to follow the “stay on your mat” rule.  It’s warm and sunny out, I get it, they want to run outside, like little wild animals.  Which can be really cute, if they would just stay on their mats for a few minutes so I can teach a few poses.

I have one little boy in particular who likes to lead the others around.  He happens to be the oldest, so the others follow quite readily.  He also happens to be the most rambunctious.

Responsible Kids Make a Calm Kids Yoga Class

In the beginning, these two qualities added up to a lot of frustration for me.  Now, I’ve given him an important job.  I’ve made him responsible for leading us in a deep breath between each pose.

We learn a new pose, move around in it and feel how our bodies can make lots of shapes.  Then when it’s time to focus again I ask this little boy to lead us in a deep breath.

It’s hard to move around and lead a deep focused breath at the same time for a 4 1/2 year old. He’s got to stand still to do it, so the other children follow him and stand still as well.  It’s centering and calming for everyone and I can teach whatever I need to.

I invite you to try this too.  When your feeling a bit out of sorts refocus yourself with a deep breath.  Teach it to others too, it’ll change your world!

Watch for my follow-up blog, coming after the training where I share my experience of the course and how the tools worked with my rambunctious kids.

Classroom Management: Do you ask Questions like these in your Kids Yoga Classes?

Seeing Eye to Eye with Kids in Your Class
Seeing Eye to Eye with Kids in Your Class

When teachers or parents start getting frustrated with children they often resort to asking questions to get back control of the situation.  The problem is when these questions aren’t really questions but are criticisms disguised as questions.

Questions like these don’t help with classroom management and don’t help the child correct their behavior either.

For example:

  1. A pre-school teacher assisting in yoga class who pulls an overactive 3 year old out of the room, stands over her asking:  “Are you a baby? Do you want to go to the baby room?  Why are you acting like a baby?”
  2. A parent overheard in the grocery store saying (loudly) to a little 3 or 4 year old girl:  “If I’m right beside you, why are you yelling?”

If these children answered it would probably go something like:

  1. “I guess I am a baby because you’re talking to me like I’m a big loser and an idiot.”
  2. “I’m yelling because that’s what you do when you want my attention.”

These types of questions just don’t work.  I’ve NEVER  heard a child give what I suppose is the desired answer:

  1. “No I’m not a baby, so I will stop my goofing around and start acting like a three year old.”
  2. “Mommy, you’ve pointed out my error so well, I better use a softer voice.”

In my experience, children never actually answer these types questions. They just stand there frozen, not sure what to do or say, feeling bad about themselves.  In terms of classroom management, it may stop the behavior for a while, but in the long term it doesn’t provide the leadership required to help children become the leaders of the future.  It lowers their self esteem by making them feel incompetent.

Instead of Questions, Be a Role Model…

A great teacher doesn’t let unwanted behavior go unnoticed either.  We don’t serve children if they can’t sit still or aren’t aware of how loud they are talking.  Instead try some other approaches.  Like:

  1. the teacher assisting can calmly walk over to an overactive three year old and sit beside them and with one or two words, remind them of what everyone is doing (“cobra pose, everyone is doing cobra pose”), and modeling the behavior they want,
  2. A tired mom in the grocery can drop down, look her daughter in the eye and say, “Please speak softer” in the same tone she wants her daughter to use.

Both Yoga and Classroom Management require Sadhana, a consistent practice that helps us succeed at our goal.  Sadhana is done with devotion, not with criticism or questioning.  Consistency brings us to the state we desire through practice, reflection on our actions, and observation of what we are doing and how it is working.

Teachers and parents are role models  for children in ALL we do.  These children will become the role models of the future. We need to commit to consciously creating the kind of class we want the same way a true yogi commit to their Sadhana.

This week bring awareness to your use of questions.  Are they real questions waiting for real answers or criticisms disguised as questions.  If you are not sure, what answer are you looking for when you ask?  If you want the child to answer with a specific response,  it’s probably not a real question.

If you realize it’s a criticism, and you don’t know what else to do, start by simply stating your frustration, “You’re moving around too much.”  or “You’re too loud.”   It’s an honest starting place and a move away from those other questions.

Then re-direct with a precise description of what you.   And do it like the yogis – with consistency, with love, and make it like a mantra – short, sweet, and elevating!

Please feel free to share your classroom management stories and how you re-direct children.  It will help all of us to get new ideas and tools.

Kids Yoga for Disabilities

First off, take a look at this fun video of two Canadians, Rick Mercer (comedian/host) and Rick Hanson (Man in Motion hero/educator) blowing away all ideas of what one can and cannot do when one has a disability:

Pretty Amazing, Eh!

This Friday marks the beginning of the Paralympic Games  in Vancouver.   It’s another event that shows how ABLE all people are.  The first Paralympics Games were held in 1976 in Sweden and this Paralympics has  five sports:

  • alpine skiing
  • biathlon
  • cross-country skiing
  • ice sledge hockey
  • wheelchair curling

Here’s a link to a whole page of activities from Official Website of the Paralympic Movement. I’m looking forward to reading this worksheet in my kids classes:  A Fairytale:  A Class Discussion of Inclusion it’s a great story with discussion questions included.

I also want to try the Sitting Volleyball Skills Sheet with a soft volley ball for younger kids.

When it comes to yoga, are there any limitations that could prevent a child from joining a class?  Considering that kids yoga is already so imaginative I think kids yoga can be done by all.

The best tip for teaching yoga to someone with a disability:  talk to the person to  find out what works and what won’t work for their particular situation.  They’ll be able to tell you what they need to make it possible, what they want to try and what they can’t.  Don’t make assumptions!

If you’re stuck for ideas – a simple Google search of “wheelchair yoga” produces over 400,000 results!

Finally, this book  Susan Laughs by Jeanne Willis and Tony Ross is recommended for discussing disabilities with young kids.  It looks like a great book that I’ve just added to my wish list.  Let me know if you’ve seen this book or if you have any other ideas for including all kids in yoga classes.

Yoga for Boys – Does Bribery Work or is it Silly?

Making a Silly Face in Yoga (2002)

Last week began another 9 week Kids Yoga Series at the community centre. One of the women in my adult yoga class had told/warned me she was going to register her son for the series. He’s a seven year old, full of energy, and terribly interested in video games, guns, and battles. In fact, she admitted to using bribery to get him to come. He doesn’t have to do homework on yoga days.

Now I know this mom is a very loving and caring person who wants the best for her son. She has discovered the joy of yoga in her own life and she was willing to resort to bribing her son to open this experience to him.

Building Up the Drama Before We Know What Will Actually Happen
By the time the first kid’s class arrived I had built up a little drama in my mind about what he would be like. It is always harder to work with someone who doesn’t want to be in class. The good news was there was one other boy registered in the class, its easier when you’re not the only one. Plus there were three other girls. All between the ages of 5 – 7 years old, with the bribed boy being the oldest.

Mustard – the Hilarious Condiment
One of the differences between adult and child yoga is rarely do adults call out funny words in the class – just because they are fun to say. Take for instance the word: Mustard. Mustard became my new friend’s word to add a bit of hilarity and funniness to the class, and he began saying it often.

As a teacher you have to recognize what is happening. Mustard may well be the pivotal condiment in this boys enjoyment of yoga – or not.

Is Mustard Allowed in Kids Yoga?
When a child starts being silly he is also finding out what is going to be allowed in class and what isn’t. He’s looking for the boundaries and he’s also finding out whether I will ask him to behave differently than how he likes to be. Do I want him to be himself or become someone else? When I hear mustard repeated over and over – I have to make a choice to accept his offer for silliness or reject it.

By rejecting the offer and insisting he stop, the class will be much like an adult yoga class. If I tell him to stop saying mustard (after all – saying mustard is not hurting anyone, in fact all the other kids found it hilarious) I tell him to stop being the kid he is. If he was doing something dangerous or mean – that would be the time to re-direct – but this kid was actually very sweet, sweet and silly!

What Happens if You Out-Silly the Silly
As a kids yoga teacher I have made it a goal to, at times, out-silly the silly. Become like a child and the kids will be amazed! Besides, I like being silly. There were many years when I lost the ability to be silly, let’s call it silly-ability, and I’m happy to have found it again. I think silly leads to creative and unusual thinking. Some of the world’s greatest inventions were probably considered silly by many people.

I Accept Silly Offers
When my new student said “mustard” and everyone laughed I accepted the offer. I said, “Oh Yummy, I love Mustard!” and I asked everyone if they wanted me to squirt some mustard on them (with my imaginary mustard bottle) when they did their yoga pose.

Then I offered them relish, chocolate sauce, and sprinkles for the next poses. Each child accepted my offer, holding the yoga poses for a minute or more just to get an extra topping. What’s life without imagination?

To finish the class we did bundle rolls down a row of mats (rolling on the floor like you would roll down a grassy hill). The kids love this pose and wanted to keep doing it – so we went on for about six minutes of bundle rolls till the kids rolled to a stop – happy and exhausted. If the kids really want to keep going in a pose then I let them whenever possible.

Week 2: Mustard Brought Relish and Ketchup
This week was our second class and I couldn’t believe my eyes when the boy who had to be bribed to come to yoga brought two of his friends to join the class. The three of them joined in and had a great time. Eventually we will move towards the boys meditating in this picture:

Two Friends Meditating in Yoga Class (2002)

Somehow, this week the silliness had worn off the word mustard – it was only mentioned once! Now, I’m not going to say whether bribery is good or not. But I do wonder if now that his friends are coming, will this boy will have to do his homework again?

Tell me, what kind of silly stuff do you like to do?

P.S. Hockey Silly Scores Goals: I can’t resist passing on this 30 second video from a professional hockey game a couple days ago. Another incentive why kids should keep their silliness – have you ever seen a goal scored this way?!
