Yoga has also been shown to help the hyperactive and attention-deficit child. These children crave movement and sensory/motor stimulus. Yoga helps channel these impulses in a positive way. Yoga poses that seem to work especially well are the warrior pose and tree pose. They help instill calm, confidence and balance. I get them to think about what the postures mean, to become like the postures -- strong and confident like a warrior. I use partner poses to develop trust. Working with each other on poses, the children develop team skills. It also fosters bonding. | | | Native American Legends | Frau Anita | | $250 PT/$300 FT | | Minimum grade entering: 2 | | This course will include writing (creating your own myth), an art project, cooking, math (applying Aztecs mathematical concepts), music, games (Native American children played in the past and still play today), and last but not least, bringing home the incredible wisdom Native People hold regarding our Mother Earth. | | | Silly Science | Frau Claudia | | * this workshop is full * | | $250 PT/$300 FT | | Minimum grade entering: 1 | | Silly science experiments to discover our world close to us!
