Teaching a children’s yoga class? Done the training, learnt the poses, perfected your lesson planning, ready to go \u2026 and then the children arrive. They are chatty, unable to focus at the end of the school day, running around the space, not listening and getting their attention seems near impossible. Please know that you are not alone, and that some days are going to be more challenging than others. It is completely normal to have times where things go a little awry and the carefully-crafted lesson plan flies out the window! Effective classroom management can greatly assist you when things feel a little pressured.

When children are seeking attention, whether positive or negative, a mantra I always come back to is, \u201cAll behaviour is communication!\u201d<\/p>\n
Then breathe deeply, come back to centre, reassess the situation and find ways to engage the children in order to manage the challenging behaviour.<\/p>\n
It can often be that by implementing some subtle changes into the space, a huge difference is made to the experience of your students, as well as your own confidence as a teacher.<\/p>\n

This is an organic and symbiotic relationship which will move in many different directions, depending on the ever-changing aspects at play on any particular day.<\/p>\n The children will ultimately determine the current and direction, and it is our role to facilitate and not dominate.<\/p>\n At the end of the day, remember to enjoy the dance of the class interaction. Flow in and out of their different energy levels, with a clear image of your own engagement style.<\/p>\n Have fun, be kind, be firm and be mindful. Managing a children’s yoga class can be a breeze!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Teaching a children’s yoga class?
