what are good mind body activities for10-12 yr old girls

Hi Toula,

I agree with Ariadne: “Certainly yoga is a big go to for mind body exploration.”

If you are interested in yoga, you might be interested in an epic resource I created for myself and other kids yoga teachers. It’s called: “The Kids Yoga Lesson Plan Kit”. It includes the largest collection of kids yoga lesson planning resources on the web and most importantly was created by a kids yoga teacher.

Every single resource I create for the Kids Yoga Lesson Plan Kit™ is tried, tested and tweaked within my Kids Yoga Programme. The stuff that doesn’t work is weeded out, leaving the really, really, really cool stuff that made a connection with the kids.

Cat for “C”
Dog is for “D”
Rag doll with an elephant’s trunk for “E”
Frog for “F”
