“Love Me For Who I Am – Songs Celebrating Children Of All Abilities” – new CD by Brady Rymer

Posted on by

I absolutely love the new Brady Rymer and the Little Band That Could CD “Love Me For Who I Am”! Will be perfect to use in my kids yoga groups. We incorporate affirmation/self esteem into every group. Here’s the video of the title track “Love Me For Who I Am”. OMazing work by Brady Rymer and the Little Band That Could!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I53UiPI39Zc. Anyone who loves kids needs to check out his album! Pure awesomeness!

Laurie Berkner (http://www.facebook.com/LaurieBerknerBand) collaborated with Brady on the song “Soft Things” on this album and very eloquently described the album in her FB post “This beautiful album honors kids of all abilities, with themes that resonate particularly well for kids on the autism spectrum.”.

Add A Little Sunshine To Your Yoga – Sun Breath & Stretch

Posted on by

One of my favorite YouTube clips of little kids doing yoga is from Lani Rosen-Gallagher of Full of Joy Yoga. Being inspired to try it out, I made some suns and  used them in my OMazing Kids Yoga group at the JD McCarty Center. It was OMazing how a prop as simple as a paper sun helped the kids get both arms up, to imitate breathing out “loud/fast” vs. “soft/slow”, and to stretch by moving their suns in different directions. Here is a PDF of the suns I used : small and large suns printable for Sun Stretch & Breath – yoga or you could have kids draw & cut out their own.

I’m passing the sunshine along to you so you can share the joyful sun 🙂

An interview about the benefits of yoga for kids with autism – it was OMazing!

Founder of BodyLogique, Barbara Gini discusses yoga for children with autism spectrum disorders. This in depth interview includes common adaptations of yoga poses and breathing exercises, techniques to improve sensory integration and ways to promote social interaction. Teachers, parents, therapists and aides who work with children with autism will greatly benefit from Barbara’s wealth of expertise.

(P.S. I am currently looking into funding options to bring Barbara here to present in Oklahoma so we can learn from her OMazing expertise! )

OMazing Kids Yoga on Yogafinder.com

Posted on by

I just listed OMazing Kids Yoga on Yogafinder.com (http://www.yogafinder.com/yoga.cfm?yoganumber=36022) and several other free listing websites.

I am trying to think of all the ways I can to get the word out there that we are doing yoga for kids.

I am especially passionate about spreading the word about using yoga as a supplemental therapy for kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Even more so this month since April is Autism Awareness Month. I have seen first hand how kids on the Autism spectrum have benefited from yoga 🙂
