The Use of Yoga Props in a Yogamoo Yoga Class

Did you know that the use of props in Yoga classes came from the Iyengar tradition, a style of Yoga named after B.K.S Iyengar, focused on precise alignment of postures

In our Yogamoo Yoga Group Class, you can expect to use props to:
- assist in poses
- look at poses with a fresh angle like a variation
- make limbs longer which affect the mechanics of the pose and demand on muscles
- helps recruiting muscles in a different way
- provide support
- provide comfort to make poses more accessible

Autumn theme begins! 🍁 We’re exploring harvesting & foraging and how the season (and weather!) can influence our mood.

This week we practised Sharing a Smile and carried forward last week’s phrases — “Wouldn’t it be great if…?” and “What goes around, comes around.”

Our tiny challenge: be the one who starts a smile today 😊
At home: spot something Autumnal together (hello, chestnuts!) and share a smile or kind greeting. Small habit, big ripple.

We can’t wait to hear back from the children about this in our sharing circle next week. 💛

I am loving our new Parents FB group for all of our Children Yoga Clubs in primary schools.

It is a great way to keep parents updated as to what their children are practising in their Yoga lessons, with a piece of wisdom and a breathing technique to try at home together.

Yoga Clubs Parents Join us here (Private Group) to find extra tips to try with your child at home

Here are a few tips with exercises we already practice with children in our Yoga Clubs in schools:

- taking breaks to look at least 10 meters away for 3-5 breaths
- focusing close then away then close again
- raise your arm with a thumb up and keep focusing on your thumb whilst moving in close and with clear vision
- practice zooming out to include peripheral vision with the gaze pointed at a far object.
- practice eyes movements all the way up, down, sides and diagonals whilst keeping your head fixed.
- cup your hands over your eyes and watch the darkness for 3-5 breaths

In this respect, Dr Bryce Appelbaum (on Dr Chatterjee 's podcast episode 576) has developed a programme to retrain your eyes to brain processing which means your vision can actually improve with regular practice. Better and more balanced vision can help with focusing, and concentration and is particularly advised to rest young eyes from screens.

In a call out to Headteachers, they both warned of screens impact on pupils.
Whats more with the amount of brain output dedicated to vision processing, using the eye sensory organ as a tool to pacify the nervous system is actually as effective as yogic breath practice.

Andrew Huberman, a Stanford Neuroscientist and Professor, is also a specialist in this area and speaks about the brain-eye connection in his podcast Andrew Huberman

Yoga can help resolve Trauma because it teaches you that the relationship you have with sensations in your body can change. It is agency, empowerment of body that can then lead to agency and empowerment of mind. Powerful stuff Yoga.

I love teaching a Children Yoga Club after school on a Friday. I get to greet the children by saying: Welcome to Yoga, what a lovely way to start your week-end. You can be proud of taking care of yourself, your body, your mind and your wellbeing'
Isn't it better than thinking that this is the last activity in school at the end of a long week?!

Just what we are working on at the moment in our underlying theme: what we say to ourselves about what we do and how we say it matters. It can change your perception, your thoughts, and how you feel. Very important right ?

I also get to say at the end ' Welldone for taking care of yourself today and Have a great week-end!'
