here comes the sun!

Every year, with the arrival of the Spring season, I play a special game with the children in my kids yoga class.

And it’s their favorite thing!

We talk about the birth of life and what nourishment is needed for plants and living creatures to grow. Water! Food! Oxygen! Soil! Each child gets to contribute an answer.

I also add that a lot of patience is required for growth.

From there I ask the children to close their eyes and envision their favorite, most beautiful flower. They curl up on the floor, pretending to be a little seed, while I turn on sounds of rain. The children are instructed to be very patient, while rain fills the room!
