This course aims at creating strong foundations for joy and resilience in our tamariki.
Just as stories nourish the soul, movement is vital for a healthy body, emotional well-being and key to optimal learning. Storybook Yoga offers a fun and accessible holistic teaching strategy for educators, storytellers and caregivers of children aged 2 to 6+ years and fully supports all five Te Whāriki Curriculum strands.
Join Yogi Kids director Michaela Sangl for an invaluable, fun, hands-on workshop and learn how to share your favourite picture books, such as The Hungry Caterpillar, with children as highly imaginative yoga journeys. Stretch, strengthen and shine as you move through animal, nature and transport poses, including partner and whole group shapes! You will also learn relaxation and breathing techniques to help children self-regulate, as well as joyful ways to bring tamariki together and transition between activities.
The venue is spacious with a limit of 18 participants. You don't need to be a 'yogi'; just bring loads of enthusiasm and willingness to engage actively in this day of playful learning! PD comes complete with a certificate and comprehensive support manual.
One-off events and in-house Story Yoga workshops tailored to your needs are also available!
Keen to dive deeper? The Yogi Kids Teacher Training 50-hour certification course is happening in the October holidays and again in April 2025! Also on the website.
