Yesterday, one of the kids saw me stretching after nap time and asked me what I was doing [of course]. I told her about my sore hip [FYI: sciatica is NOT something that only old ladies get. I did not know this. And it sucks] and that I need to move my body to make it feel better and that something that I like to do is yoga. So I did the tree pose for her. She loved it and I quickly realized that I had an entire captive audience. Magic. So my co-teacher and I decided that a half hour of yoga would be something fun to try with the kids. I've never done yoga with children before but have always wanted to. Today we did the tree, the half moon, the cat, the cow, the eagle... it was beyond fantastic. I love it. I felt like I was learning from them... I was so far outside of my comfort zone, I felt like a new teacher again. Good stuff. Yoga + kids = fun. So now I'm looking for resources on teaching yoga to kids... but everything I've found online so far is super creepy. Maybe I don't need any resources, maybe I'm smart enough to do it on my own. Probably. But just in case, does anyone have any ideas of where to look? Something that doesn't involve a creepy old lady, or adults on crack that you want to punch in the face?
Also, someone drew me a ghost today. 'Jillian, I draw a ghost for you. His name is Fred and he says 'ooooooooo'.
