let them learn and let them lead the way... Can you hear Whitney sweetly singing those lyrics? I miss her.
And I do believe that bringing yoga to kids is essential. ADD/ADHD is an over diagnosed and over medicated phenomenon of our generation of parenting. Video games don't help. But attention and awareness and presence are skills. We can practice these and get better at them. It doesn't mean your extroverted energetic girl becomes perfectly still and the "perfect" student. But yoga with kids, done right, produces a calmer mind and a steadier focus and a quieter voice. (Sometimes).
I graduated with a BA in elementary ed from one of the finest education universities around--FU. Ok, that was to be funny. Furman University. And this weekend I felt a deep, steadying sense of peace as I completed KidPowerYoga teacher training, bringing my schoolroom savvy to the yoga mat.
I cannot wait to teach kids' yoga classes. This is the greatest love of all.
