Workshop with Children's Yoga Expert |
 Shakta Kaur Khalsa In May I was lucky enough to spend some time with Shakta Kaur Khalsa who has been developing and teaching the Radiant Child Yoga Program in the USA since 1972. Shakta was very generous sharing her ideas and 30 years of experiences in children’s yoga. The Calm Kids Yoga program is now exploding with new ideas ready to be passed on. Try this exercise at home or in the classroom - it's one of my favourites from Skakta.
Meditation with a featherDuration 5mins You will need a feather for each child. The best feathers are stiff on the top and fluffy on the bottom.
- Sitting with your feather at neck level, about 30cm away from your mouth.
- Your eyes are partly open and gazing out at the feather. Notice the feather’s beautiful colour and shape as you do this exercise
- Experiment with your breath by blowing soft enough to move the fluffy part of the feather and then blow hard enough to move the stiff part of the feather.
- Do each breathe again. This time notice which type of breathing is slow and long and which is fast and hard.
- Notice how you feel with each breath. Does one make you feel relaxed and calm—maybe even sleepy? Does one make you feel excited or energized? Which one?
