This weekend at was a beautiful reminder that great teaching isn’t about sticking to the lesson plan.
One class started with a double-booked venue and a loud electronic toddler band. Another had children constantly coming and going. The third began with just two shy three-year-olds and ended with ten children aged 2–9.
Each time, I had to adapt.
We explored unicorn lands, circuses, rainbows and waterfalls. Children took turns teaching poses. Parents joined in. Meditations were created on the spot using the children’s ideas.
This is why, when I train Children’s Yoga Teachers and Calm Coaches, I focus on themes and adaptable frameworks rather than rigid lesson plans.
Because the magic happens when you teach the children in front of you, not the lesson you planned on paper. ✨
