Elementary Ages, School Setting, Community Lesson Plan (McCaghy)

Instructor: Laura McCaghy

Community: Elementary Ages, School Setting, 30 minutes

Plan Creation Date: November 1, 2016

Yoga Calm Principle/Lesson Goal: Community

Class Intention: Main principle I want to convey- community
How I will set the tone to create a therapeutic environment- mats in a circle, soft music, muted lighting.  Which specific challenging behavior am I trying to address? It’s a newer group and we are trying to get to know each other and build on what we learned in the introductory lesson.

Lesson Plan:

Calm

• Breathing Techniques – (integrating principle-based & social/emotional language): Belly breaths & the hoberman sphere (students do the hoberman, counting, and complimenting)

Activate

• Yoga Flow – (Yoga-Based Movement integrating principle-based & social/emotional language): review roots, mt, upward mt, tree
• Tree Circle
• Tree Challenge

Calm

• Craft Activity and Relaxation – (Relaxation integrating the physical, emotional, and cognitive experiences from the lesson plan): Make a tree (using paper lunchbags)—relate their individuality too our individuality
• Read a poem “Advice from a Tree”
• Listen to a story about the many ways trees help/support us
• Relaxation – Forest themed guided relaxation
