IYKYK!!! Best feeling Eva!!!💜

Did you guess it? 🧣

Scarves one of the most versatile props. Inexpensive, packs flat, and works with every age I teach.

Here’s what they’re good for:

Balance. Hold one out while you’re in tree pose and suddenly there’s a whole other layer of coordination and focus happening.

Breath. Blow on it and watch it move. Or link the breath to the movement, up on the inhale, down on the exhale. Kids can see their breath doing something, which is the whole trick with little ones.

Baby yoga. Best peekaboo prop there is. Also gives the butterfly pose a pair of wings. 🦋

Savasana. The magical savasana scarf. Pass it slowly over each kid and they take a deep breath as it goes by. They get so quiet for this one.

Now tell me yours. How do you use scarves in your class? 👇

What’s in the Box 📦

Take an empty cereal box and fill it with something that has nothing to do with the label. Then ask your students what’s inside. They’ll say cereal, obviously. Then tell them you’re going to shake it.

That’s when it gets good.

After the shake, ask them how it felt in their body not to know. You’ll get answers like “my stomach felt weird” or “I wanted to grab it.” That’s the mind body connection, and they’re the ones naming it, not me.

Then we talk about perspective. Not knowing can feel scary, or it can feel exciting. It’s kind of up to us. And in about ten seconds, they’re going to know anyway.
This is a lot of what yoga philosophy is actually about. Being okay in the part where you don’t know yet. Which is most of life, honestly.

And yes, I bet you want to know what’s in the box. 😉 It’s in stories!

25/8. I can’t imagine what it would be like if I didn’t practice yoga 😜🫠💜

Gratitude is the attitude! 💜🧡

Sharing my little ritual for when I deposit a check. While many. payments come through electronically now, the few checks that still show up get treated the same way they always have.

There is something about a physical check that slows you down. You have to open it. You have to sign it. That little pause turned into a practice, and the practice turned into a mindset I carry into everything else.

Abundance is not really about the number written on the line. It is about noticing that someone chose to spend their money on the thing you built.
We ask kids to pause and notice all the time. Funny how rarely we do it for ourselves.

Do you have a money ritual you want to share. Let me know below
