Year 1 Yoga Scheme of Work
Lesson 1
​
Overview and Resources
Today the children practise the very basic principles of Yoga & Mindfulness. Exploring what it means to put their bodies into a ‘yoga pose’ and how this feels for them. They begin to learn the simple poses that form a ‘Sun Salutation’ (a short flow of yoga poses) through fun games and activities. The session ends with a short guided relaxation where the children are invited to lie down and relax whilst going on an imaginary journey under the sea, visiting lots of different sea creatures and enjoying the peace and stillness of the ocean.
