Our Springtime Yoga Via Zoom 

Nerida, Yoga A Go GO Instructor 

Wow, what a great return to Kindergarten all the children are having! Yoga A Go Go has zoomed with GEKA Caulfield South Kindergarten, GEKA Carnegie Kindergarten and GEKA Bentleigh East Kindergarten for some Springtime Yoga

via Zoom.

I was so happy to hear from Lorriane at GEKA Caulfield South Kindergarten a couple of weeks

ago who wanted to try some online yoga with the children. 

We began, with having the children sit on their mats waiting patiently as the the very clever IT support crew (thank you ladies) set up the projector to the laptop and once the volume was turned up, we were ready to go go!

We started with the Beautiful Butterfly Pose, flying through the kindergarten breathing

in and out as our wings floated up and down.

Then I turned “Papa Udu - by Bark” on, 

(Keyboards, Didgeridoo & Percussion

from Central Australia). The children loved it, they followed me to the beat as we played

our bodies like a drum. We stretched to warm up our bodies and wake up our minds, ready to focus for some Springtime Yoga Poses. We traveled through the garden being Buzzy bees (Bee pose), collecting pollen and taking it back to hive to make honey.

We then balanced on our bottoms in a Flower Pose - so clever. We became Rainbows (Rainbow balancing arm Pose) after some sun showers.

We swooshed our arms around like wind through the tree branches and balanced in a Tree Pose. Next it was time for a banana break - we bent our bodies like a bendy banana

(Banana Pose), ate them up and fell to the ground to rest like a banana skin. Aaaaah Relaxation - its the best to have a rest at the end of Yoga. The hang drum music was put on to help us relax our body, mind and breath. Once the children finished relaxation time, we celebrated and clapped for ourselves

and our friends.

Last week I was so grateful to meet both GEKA Caulfield South 4YO groups. All three

GEKA Carnegie kindergarten groups and some gorgeous 3 year olds at GEKA Bentleigh East Kindergarten. Thank you so much to Natalie, Jo, Claire, Lorraine and Stella for giving the

Yoga Zoom a trial. The kids and I loved it.

I am offering a free trial to any kindergartens that may want to trial a session first and

also a 5 week Spring time Program that includes: Poses That Fly, Insect Yoga,

Reptile Yoga (with a real reptile coming to visit). Poses in and around the Water

and Poses you Eat! 

If you’d like to get in touch to find out more or book a session please ring me on 0431892526 or email me on neridaagogo@bigpond.com.

My website also has information and a booking system : www.yogaagogo.com.au.

If you are not sure about setting up, you can use a laptop, TV monitors or a projector. Even if it's a small screen we can make it work - we just do smaller groups.

Namaste,
