Fostering Imagination

Another wonderful by product of yoga in yogiland i.e. kids yoga… the fostering of IMAGINATION! In yogiland adventures we travel to distant lands or we go to the park, but it is all in our minds. I often ask my little yogis to tell me what they see or if they become a butterfly (baddhakonasana) what color is your butterfly. We get to use our imagination to see or feel the colors, the sounds, the places etc.

These kids yoga classes create a space in which kids can use their intuitive imagination with no pressure of right or wrong answers. I have them see the places we go and describe them. Even if we go to the beach and I have student who has never been to the beach, we get to create that image in that students mind. Other students can help this student imagine.

IMAGINATION is incredibly important to practice, keep fresh and play with! Yet another reason to do kids yoga! Come join me on youtube or in person if you are in Los Angeles!
