Yoga is a great way to get preschoolers up and moving in a controlled manner. Yoga also helps teach them valuable gross motor skills.
Yoga Books
I started the storytime off with Yoga Storytime by Miriam Raventos. This book is on the longer side so I did skip some of the pages in order to not lose the audience. Then I read I Am Yoga by Susan Verde and I ended with Yoga Bunny by Brian Russo. While reading these books, I had the children do different yoga poses, and I had them tell me the various animal sounds.
For the activity, I called out different yoga poses for the children to do. We also practiced breathing exercises.
Overall, this was a really fun storytime that takes about 30 to 45 minutes to complete.
