A Mindful Mother’s Day with ideas for Children and Parents

With Mother’s Day nearing, here are 3 quick tools to make your day special.

1. Free Printable Mothers Day Kids Yoga Tool

It made me so very happy to see this post on Instagram of our Free Mother’s Day Acrostic Poem Printable.  You can get it here as well as a lesson plan for a Mother/Child yoga class!

Thanks to theHappyLotus for tagging me.  It is well worth it to follow theHappyLotus for kids yoga inspiration.  And while you are there, feel free to follow Young Yoga Masters on Instagram too!

2. Mindfulness for Mothers – Techniques for When you Lose your Cool

Whether you have a mother or you have kids, somehow families can push your buttons at times!

This video will give you a head start on keeping your cool and help you NOT explode at a family get together.

 

3. Mindfulness for Children

A short video from our last teacher training weekend!  I’m so proud of our graduates for an amazing practicum class with the children.  I recommend a circle of kindness for Mother’s Day where you talk about how to be kind to others and how to be kind to yourself as well.  Kids know what to do!  Watch and see:

 

 

Whether you are celebrating with family, remembering a loved one, or creating your own way to nurture yourself,

Have a beautiful Mother’s Day.

Free Mother’s Day Yoga Printable

Is it just me, or does it seem that the older we get the more we appreciate mom?

My mom is now in her 70’s and when I look at her I see her through all her ages, all her love and caring, all the discipline and lessons, all her mom-ness.  No one else is like her and no one ever will be. Being Mother is a sacred title, especially for a daughter or son.

With Mother’s Day coming up, it’s time to honour these ladies in some big or small way, and here are some ideas and a Free Printable that just may help.

Acrostic Poems and Yoga

mom acrostic poem for kids yoga class

Remember Acrostic Poems? You write a word or phrase for each letter of your theme word. Here’s an example for MOM.

The printable below has both yoga poses and a space for an Acrostic poem for Mother.  These poems are easy to do, perfect for relaxing during the last 10 minutes of an hour long kids yoga class. In fact you can do them anytime with any word you want to use as a theme. Here are a few examples: Mother, Father, Summer, Gratitude.

Lesson Plan for a Mother Child Yoga Class

You can use this printable for a your lesson plan in a few ways:

  • The first five yoga poses are a great warm up on their own,
  • Each pose can also become partner yoga, facing back to back, holding hands and hopping, just having fun coordinating the movement together.
  • Partners can use their imagination and put two poses together. Think: a tree under the moonlight or leapfrog hop over an elephant! Give yourselves time to be creative.
  • Or do your own lesson plan and let folks take the printable home to do.

Here’s what it looks like and you may find this PDF easier to print: Mothers Day Yoga Printable Young Yoga Masters.

Mother’s Day Yoga Worksheet

What Mother’s Day Yoga plans did you make? I’d love to hear about it in the comments.

Wishing a Happy Mothers Day to all who are celebrating.

A Mother Pours Out Her Heart

A Mother Pours Out Her Heart

There are many parts of this beautiful poem by mother and author of  Samahria Ramsen, that I relate to as a Kids Yoga Teacher. Here’s one in particular:

“To feel the joy of being a teacher without teaching.”

This inspires me as a teacher to be a role model more than a teacher for the kids in my classes.

Sometimes I read the affirmations from Ms. Ramsen’s book in my moms and kids classes. I think the moms really need the inspiration so they can pass it on to the kids. Then the moms want to come to class because it nurtures their souls as well as being fun for the kids. There are a lot of hard working moms out there.

I’ve been very busy getting my ducks in line for the Teaching Kids Yoga Course and will give you an update on the marketing strategies I’ve been using. I think they will be useful for yoga teachers and kids yoga classes.

Tonight, I’m off to teach my adult class. As a business entrepreneur I’m learning what it takes to develop new products while still keeping up the other parts of the business. In other words, developing and marketing the course and teaching 10+ classes a week.

Stay tuned for tips to stay sane and what doesn’t work.

And let me know if you have any tips that work for you in your busy life!

Till then enjoy the video.
