How can you practice mindfulness and yoga in the Early Childhood classroom?

Mindfulness is a technique that helps you focus your attention on the here and now. In other words, it develops awareness and trains mindful attention to the actions and emotions we are experiencing at a given moment. Yoga, for its part, combines body and mind practices through physical movement, breath control, and meditation, which also supports both physical and mental health. In Inspira, our cross-curricular project-based program for Early Childhood, we make them a regular practice, sequenced throughout all the projects.

In this guide, we share a mindfulness lesson and a yoga lesson, with their materials, so you can try them in your Early Childhood classroom.
