More DescriptionOur Christian scriptures are clear - we are not simply incarnated souls. We are living bodies. And our physical existence is God's perfect will. However, many Christians today lack an embodiment of their faith. Story and Stretch: Narrative Yoga for Kids offers a framework in which to explore scriptural truths through body movement. The ten Story and Stretch lesson plans included in this book combine Old Testament stories with the healing practice of yoga, to offer children of all ages the opportunity to experience their bodies as sacred places to dialogue with God. Each lesson contains a different breathing practice, mindfulness activity, Old Testament story, sequence of yoga poses designed to recreate the story, suggestions for relaxation time, and discussion questions. Story and Stretch was created by Michel Le Gribble-Dates, mother, certified yoga instructor, and former Director of Children's Ministries.
