I just love this 🥰

My version of this is:
Every child needs at least one adult that is irrationally crazy about them!

Count me in! I'll be that one adult!!!!

We had so much fun playing yoga together on Saturday morning at pro day teacher training! I love packing up lots of props and showing teachers how they can take regular everyday items found in a classroom, and turn them into a yoga prop!

So many mixed emotions! This is my last week teaching yoga in a daycare setting. I will be stepping into another role as a preschool teacher! I am very excited to go back to teaching and I am so grateful to be taking my "yoga tool bag" with me! As excited as I am, I will miss seeing so many yogis throughout the week. To wrap up another wonderful year of teaching yoga, we explored and played with mandalas! This is one of my favorite classes as I am soooo intrigued with circles. Pictured here are my happy yogis creating their own mandalas. We use this activity as a meditation as we are focused on creating our own masterpiece. Children are encouraged focus on their creation as well as ask their neighbor about their mandala. It is a wonderful way to bring our yoga community that we have created together!
PS Teachers love this activity!!
