Pets are a big part of the family. I know that are beloved golden retriever Lucy sure is! If only I could stop her shedding! Most kids love to talk about their pets and tell you all about them. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has assumed that the pet was a human member of the family until I later found out! That’s just how much they can be loved by kids…and adults. Pets come in all shapes and sorts which makes them perfect for pet themed yoga!

I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU

It would be wonderful if a video was made with all of these wonderful ideas! I love using yoga with my preschoolers and they truly enjoy it as well! Last week they requested we begin a study of pets…this would fit perfect! I’ve pulled several children’s yoga videos from youtube that my children actually request weekly and they are getting quite good. Please consider!
Thanks for reading! It is definitely one of the things on my list of considerations in the future. You can get the cards that have full explanations of the poses right now. They also include pictures of the pets. The kids I work with LOVE them. They take turns picking the cards and doing the poses!
