What We Talked About:

• Ways to introduce yoga to children

• How yoga can help both parents and children manage emotions

• Building emotional awareness in children

• The four pillars of Yogi Bean

• Morning and evening yoga rituals for parents and children

• How to add a bit of yoga to your daily life

Things to Remember

“Parenting is similar to the breath, a lot of expansion and contraction.”

“When you change how you breathe, you can change how you feel.”

“Having good posture is important for the mind and body connection.”

“When your goal is to get children to sit quietly and still you need to let them move a little bit.”

“Making children aware of their feelings is a lifelong tool to help them cope with bigger feelings.”

“Everything is a phase.”
