Seasonal Mindfulness: 36 Yoga + Mindfulness Lessons for Happy Children is a complete guide designed for teachers, kids yoga instructors, parents, and caregivers seeking fun, engaging, and accessible methods to introduce mindfulness and yoga to children.

Seasonal Mindfulness has three Yoga + Mindfulness Lessons for each month of the year that connect to a season, holiday, or cultural theme.  Each Yoga + Mindfulness Lesson combines yoga, mindfulness exercises, and storytelling. These lessons are designed to help your students connect their minds, bodies and hearts and teach valuable social-emotional skills.

With thirty-six planned lessons, Seasonal Mindfulness helps instructors teach mindfulness and yoga in a way that promotes emotional resilience and preventative well-being in children.  Within each lesson of Seasonal Mindfulness, you’ll have everything you need in one place to quickly and easily create a fun and engaging mindfulness practice.  It also provides detailed explanations and visual aids to help instructors and children understand the lessons.  

Each lesson was created by a certified Challenge to Change Kids Yoga + Mindfulness Instructor and has been refined and tested in our classes.  Challenge to Change’s Seven Parts of Practice structured approach helps children identify and understand the lesson structure and flow of the lesson, which in turn builds self-confidence in mastering skills.  This includes the Seated Practice, Movement, the Heart of the Lesson, Creative Expression, Cool Down, Guided Mindfulness Meditations, and Close of Practice.
