    More info

    In yoga, the Yamas and Niyamas are a moral code of conduct—a guideline for living. Together the Yamas and Niyamas help us make careful decisions about thinking, speaking, and behaving. This foundational thinking prepares children to form healthy relationships with themselves and others.

    Teach the Yamas and Niyamas to kids
    Yamas include five (5) guidelines that support how we become a good friend to others, the world, and ourselves. Niyamas describes the principles of being a good person. Through them, we build character and learn mindfulness and self-discipline to become good citizens in the world.

    These lesson plans can be used as a complete yoga class following the FGKY teaching methodology or in the home, easily adapted for the school classroom or clinical settings.

    Comprehensive lesson plans (10 total) for ages 7-11.

    Read before teaching. Provide times to have the discussions. These can be part of the yoga class or separate. Learn SEL-integrated yoga philosophy with your students by participating in contextualized hypothetical situations kids can understand to learn how to live more peacefully, gratefully, and generously. The lesson unit helps children learn the concepts of the yoga philosophy, the context for the Yamas and Niyamas in everyday life, and how to incorporate these values at school, in sports, and home.
