Sun Dance Series - Star Wars Dance

5/4/2018

May the 4th be with you! I've become quite the Star Wars fan over the past years, as our oldest son adores the films, action figures, lego sets, books and more. Star Wars has infiltrated our lives, and I'm not complaining. I love sci-fi! The idea of intergalactic travel is so entertaining and engaging, it's no wonder that the brand appeals to all children young and old. On this special Star Wars day, I am so excited to share with you our latest Sun Dance in the series - the Star Wars Dance. If you missed the first post in this series, be sure to have a look as it will give you the background you need to best use the new addition.

Stretch up high, wave to the Millennium Falcon
(Standing in mountain pose, reach arms up & wave)
Hang down low, grab the light saber by your toes
(Forward fold, reaching down towards your toes)
Feet jump back, into your X-wing fighter
(Bend your knees, place your hands down and jump or step your feet back to plank)
Belly down, let’s ride it around
(Bending at the elbows, lower your body down to the ground and move from side to side)
Look up at the Death star
(Press the hands into the ground, to straighten the arms into cobra pose)
Now back at the storm troopers
(Knees under hips, curl the toes under & shift into downward dog)
& breathe & breathe & breathe
(Take 3 big breaths in through the nose and out through the nose)
Feet jump up, it’s time for battle
(Hop the feet up, into a frog squat)
Hang down low, grab the light saber by your toes
(Forward fold, reaching down towards your toes)
Stretch up high & hold it to the sky
(Coming to stand, reach both arms up over head, pretending to hold your light saber to the sky)
Now JEDI pose!
(Create your own Jedi Pose)

I hope that you enjoy this! For more ideas for Star Wars themed yoga classes, check out our past post here. Have a ton of fun celebrating with your favorite little Jedis... or Siths!

Most love & light - May the Force be with you.

Sun Dance Series - Earth Day Dance

4/19/2018

What is your happy place? Where do you feel most relaxed? What scene makes your shoulder drop while you exhale with a big sigh? For me, the answers to all of these questions is in nature. Being in the mountains, strolling down a forest path, exploring along the beach... beautiful natural landscapes have a calming effect for me. The scary part is that our natural oasis' are slowly being taken over by garbage. Did you know there's a section of the Pacific Ocean called "garbage island" which is about the size of Texas and holds a massive concentration of plastic particles. Who lives in the plastic filled water? Fish. Who eats the fish that is eating, breathing and living in plastic? Humans.... Think about this one... There is no new water in the world. Water does not leave the planet, new water does not come in. The water we drink, the water that makes up our bodies is the SAME water that the dinosaurs were made of. Crazy. So if we continue to dump waste and garbage into our water supply, eventually that is all that will remain. The amount of garbage we make as humans is insane; think of packaging that you throw out on a daily basis. Consider how many bags of garbage your family creates each week, now multiply that by 52, then multiply that by 80 + years.... YIKES! Yes, living in outer space is a possibility, so if we destroy our planet at least we will have a plan b - BUT then the only way we will experience these natural oasis' is through virtual reality. Okay, can you tell I am passionate about this? Earth day is a day that is recognized once per year, but I truly believe it should be celebrated every day! Today we will celebrate Earth Day with a lovely little Earth Day Dance. If you missed the first post in this series, you'll want to have a look at it as it will give you the background you need to best use our newest addition to the Sun Dance Series. I hope you enjoy!

Stretch up high, wave to the sky
(Standing in mountain pose, reach arms up & wave)
Hang down low, feel the earth between your toes
(Forward fold, reaching down for your toes)
Feet jump back, into the grass
(Bend your knees, place your hands down and jump or step your feet back to plank & take a big breath in)
Belly on the ground, hug the earth now
(Bending at the elbows, lower your body down to the ground)
Look up at the birds
(Press the hands into the ground, to straighten the arms into cobra pose, looking up)
Now back at the bears
(Knees under hips, curl the toes under & shift into downward dog)
& breathe & breathe & breathe
(Take 3 big breaths in through the nose and out through the nose, filling the belly BIG like a balloon when you breathe in, letting all the air out when you breathe out)
Feet jump up, into the river
(Hop the feet up, into a frog squat)
Hang down low, check out the stones
(Straighten the legs, forward fold & reach down for your toes while pretending to pick up a stone)
Stretch up high, wave to the trees
(Coming to stand, reach both arms up over head holding your treasure high)
Now mountain pose
(Bending the knees slightly, like chair pose, bring your little bunny paws up & hop!)

This Earth Day, remember to talk to your kid(s) about their impact, and the footprint you are leaving as individuals and as a family. They will often have way more amazing ideas than you do when it comes to ways we can improve! It's not just about reducing our use, it's also about re-using and re-purposing what we can, of course recycling, and creating new and innovative ways to be a better co-inhabitant of Earth. Let's leave behind a planet that our kid's grandkid's grandkid's will be able to see while on it rather than above it!

With a love-filled heart, sending you blessings of peace and joy.

Sun Dance Series - Easter Dance

3/28/2018

Easter weekend is right around the corner, and I know many families have very special Easter traditions that they look forward to each year. My family is not included in those many, as our Easter plans and activities tend to evolve from year to year, but we definitely LOVE our Easter egg hunt. What we've given to the kiddos over the past 7 years has also changed, as we now like to steer away from candy and chocolate (those vegan chocolate eggs are pricey!) to reduce their sugar intake. So last year we started to give them change in their eggs - $0.25 in each one; it added up pretty quick for them, and they were SO happy to get money. Then in their basket, they each got a special toy that they were excited about. Simple! No big sugar rushes or crashes and happiness all around.

What ever your traditions are around food, family and fun this time of year, I hope that you will make time to share a special moment or two together in presence with your little ones. This week I have the amazing opportunity to just BE with my children, no work, no cell phone, no email - just us together, playing, crafting, cuddling, and enjoying one another's company. What an outstanding gift. Our Easter dance is simply another means to connect with each other during this special holiday, even if just for a minute or two. If you missed the first post in this series, you'll want to have a look at it as it will give you the background you need to best use our newest addition to the Sun Dance Series. I hope you enjoy!

Stretch up high, wave to the sun
(Standing in mountain pose, reach arms up & wave)
Hang down low, reach for a chocolate egg
(Forward fold, reaching down for your toes)
Feet jump back, into your basket
(Bend your knees, place your hands down and jump or step your feet back to plank & take a big breath in)
Belly on the ground, let's search all around
(Bending at the elbows, lower your body down to the ground & look in all directions)
Look up high, look to either side
(Press the hands into the ground, to straighten the arms into cobra pose, looking up, and then from side to side)
Look behind
(Knees under hips, curl the toes under & shift into downward dog)
& breathe & breathe & breathe
(Take 3 big breaths in through the nose and out through the nose, filling the belly BIG like a balloon when you breathe in, letting all the air out when you breathe out)
Feet jump up, you've found one now
(Hop the feet up, into a frog squat)
Hang down low, it's by your toes
(Straighten the legs, forward fold & reach down for your toes while pretending to find an Easter egg)
Stretch up high, hold your egg to the sky
(Coming to stand, reach both arms up over head with a big breath in and say YES! as you make fists with your hands and draw your elbows down towards your hips)
Now Easter Bunny pose!
(Bending the knees slightly, like chair pose, bring your little bunny paws up & hop!)

Wishing you blessings of peace and love over this Easter weekend! May you always remember to find and create the extraordinary in the ordinary. As always, if you have any comments, or want to share how you are using our sun dance series we would love to hear it. With a full heart, be bright, be bold & be you!

Deep love,

-Vanessa

Sun Dance Series - Spring Dance

3/19/2018

Spring is sprung! Today is the FIRST official day of spring. Unfortunately here in Edmonton, that reality is far from truth, knowing that we will likely be living in this snowy wonder(waste)land until the end of April or so. In early February I spent the weekend in Victoria for the yoga conference, and there were BUDS and BLOSSOMS beginning to make themselves known. During the first weekend of March, I ran a training in Vancouver, and saw the beginning of their buds and blossoms as well. I am SO lucky and grateful to have experienced the start of spring two times already this year, and really, really, REALLY look forward to seeing that **soon** (fingers crossed) in my own city too.

Spring is so magical, it's a time of new beginnings, new life, new sights, sounds, smells, feelings... it's feels like a re-awakening, a fresh boost of energy and excitement, the warmth of sunshine on your bare arms... Yes, can you tell? I love spring! And I am so excited to share this Spring Dance with you. If you missed the first post in this series, you'll want to have a look at it as it will give you the background you need to best use our newest addition to the Sun Dance Series.

Stretch up high, wave to the warm sun in the sky
(Standing in mountain pose, reach arms up & wave)
Hang down low, feel the grass between your toes
(Forward fold, reaching down for your toes)
Feet jump back, into the field of flowers
(Bend your knees, place your hands down and jump or step your feet back to plank & take a big breath in)
Belly on the ground, let's smell them now
(Bending at the elbows, lower your body down to the ground & pretend to sniff the lovely field)
Look up a the bumble bees
(Press the hands into the ground, to straighten the arms into cobra pose, looking at the bees)
Now look back at the bunnies
(Knees under hips, curl the toes under & shift into downward dog)
& breathe & breathe & breathe
(Take 3 big breaths in through the nose and out through the nose, filling the belly BIG like a balloon when you breathe in, letting all the air out when you breathe out - you can imagine you are a bunny and twitch your nose)
Feet jump up, just like a frog
(Hop the feet up, into a frog squat)
Hang down low, pick up a lady bug
(Straighten the legs, forward fold & reach down for your toes while pretending to find a lady bug)
Stretch up high, wave to the birds as they fly by
(Coming to stand, reach both arms up over head & wave)
Now spring flower pose!
(Hands come together above your head, keeping your pinkie, thumb and base of the palm connected, open the rest of the fingers to create a lovely flower with your hands as you lower them back down to your heart - here's a sample of what it should look like if that doesn't make sense)

I hope you love this new Sun Dance as much as I love Spring! I've been thinking.... why not create these in video format to go along with the script? If you like this idea, and see value in it please let me know in a comment below, even if there's only one person who digs it, I'm in! For now, I wish you the most amazing first day of spring. May it bring you plenty of love, beauty and joy.

Be Bright, Be Bold, Be You!

Most love,
-Vanessa

Sun Dance Series - Love Dance

2/9/2018

Valentines Day is nearly here, a day for us to show our love and affection for those who we hold dearly. I've always wondered....why do we celebrate Valentine's day? I knew the day was related to it's namesake St. Valentine, but that was all. So I did a little digging and found this excellent video on the history of valentines day:

http://www.history.com/topics/valentines-day/history-of-valentines-day

I think the most interesting part is how commercialized this tradition has become, when really, shouldn't we be sharing our love each and everyday? Our post for you this month is about just that, noticing the love all around you and sharing your love with the world. If you missed the first post in this series, you'll want to have a look at it as it will give you the background you need to best use our newest addition to the Sun Dance Series.

(Knees under hips, curl the toes under & shift into downward dog)
& breathe in love too & breathe in love too & breathe in love too
(Take 3 big breaths in through the nose and out through the nose, filling the belly BIG like a balloon when you breathe in, letting all the air out when you breathe out - you can imagine your heart growing fuller with each breath)

Sun Dance Series - Birthday Dance

1/3/2018

With the New Year upon us, it is the perfect time to celebrate! New beginnings, new opportunities, new goals and intentions - we get to start fresh and give birth to our BEST year YET. Over here at Glow, we like to celebrate all the time, so we are starting off the year with a super amazing Birthday Dance, created by our very own Robyn Snow, Daycare Program Lead & Magical Mermaid!

A bit about Robyn: Looking for an emotional outlet, Robyn began practicing yoga in high school and never realized how it would change her life. No matter what curve balls were thrown her way, yoga always called her back and she continued learning and growing within her practice over the years. She made the decision to take her 200-hr yoga teacher training after a year of travel and soul-searching. Upon completion and her background in early childhood development, she knew that working with children was her passion and it was listening to her truth that landed her a position sharing yoga with Glow Yoga Kids. She brings passion and authenticity to her classes, encouraging students to be themselves and grow in a safe and supportive atmosphere.

As the years go on, kid’s birthdays are becoming more and more extravagant. It must have the best entertainment, like a singing tight rope walker or an actual dancing bear. It must have the best food, like a custom cake that could feed a million people or crab tartlets with a side of crème fresh. It must have the most expensive presents, like a full-sized kitchen set with working faucets and a backsplash or a doll with more toys and furniture than your kid has. In all honesty though, what was your favourite part of your birthday growing up? You probably don’t remember any of the gifts you received, or the food you ate. You might remember the entertainment if it was an actual dancing bear… but the thing that sticks with you the most over the years is how special you felt. I remember the classics; a bounce house, a clown, a homemade cake and the whole family getting together to celebrate... well you. It is the love that we remember. So in honor of going back to the basics, the Birthday Dance. If you missed the first post in this series, you'll want to have a look at it as it will give you the background you need to best use our newest addition to the Sun Dance Series.

Stretch up high waves to the balloons,
(Standing in mountain pose, reach arms up & wave)
Hang down low, Sweep the ribbons away from your toes
(Forward fold, reaching down for your toes & sweeping away imaginary ribbons)
Feet jump back, into the bounce house
(Bend your knees, place your hands down and jump or step your feet back to plank)
Belly on the ground, bounce around
(Bending at the elbows, lower your body down to the ground)
Look up at the decorations
(Press the hands into the ground, to straighten the arms into cobra pose, looking at the decorations around you)
Now back at the presents
(Knees under hips, curl the toes under & shift into downward dog)
& breathe & breathe & breathe
(Take 3 big breaths in through the nose and out through the nose, filling the belly BIG like a balloon when you breathe in, letting all the air out when you breathe out)
Feet jump up, just like a clown
(Hop the feet up, into a frog squat, make a silly clown face)
Hang down low, sweep the ribbons away from your toes
(Straighten the legs, forward fold & reach down for your toes, sweeping those ribbons away again)
Stretch up high, wave to the balloons
(Coming to stand, reach both arms up over head & wave to the balloons)
Now Birthday time!
(Hands by your sides, standing in mountain & say Happy birthday!)

Wishing your kiddos all of the love on their birthdays, knowing that it is special because they get to spend it with you. <3

Much Love,

Robyn

Sun Dance Series - Christmas Dance

12/18/2017

How do you get into the Christmas spirit? Only 7 days until the BIG day! At this time of year, I think we are all feeling the pressure. Christmas is a magical time to enjoy, to love, to laugh, to cherish, to remember - it is a time filled with joy and gratitude and I think that's why it's "the most wonderful day of the year". However, leading up to the 25th, the hustle and bustle can be felt all around us. Our children especially pick up on this stress, and one way we can lessen that is through quality connection time, so that you can create your own magic Christmas moments. Give this Christmas Dance a go, you can stop & yoga anytime, anywhere!

If you missed the first post in this series, you'll want to have a look at it as it will give you the background you need to best use our newest addition to the Sun Dance Series.

From everyone at Glow Yoga Kids, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and the happiest New Year! Let's make 2018 the best year yet.

With love & gratitude,

Vanessa & the team Glow!

Sun Dance Series - Snow Dance

11/20/2017

Well, it's time to face facts.... winter is here to stay in Edmonton. We had a big snowfall on All Hallows' Eve and things have been covered in white ever since. Only 6 more months to go! I wonder if you are sensing my lack of love here? Don't misinterpret this, I really do LOVE the snow; it is extremely beautiful, clean, calming, and restorative. I am especially entranced by how it glistens when struck by the light of the sun or moon like a million tiny diamonds. AND one of my favorite things is waking up to hoar frost on the trees! However, after about a month or so, I am over it. We are at 3 weeks now..... but who's counting?

If we are going to survive winter here in Alberta, the easiest thing to do is embrace it; with lots of layers, a super warm parka and maybe a few hand warmers in your mittens. THEN we can enjoy winter for all it has to offer! Tobogganing, skating, skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, sleigh rides, ice fishing, and pond hockey, which by the way all have kids yoga poses made up for them. So in your next class, why not celebrate our Canadian-ness (like the guy I saw today wearing shorts in -10) with a wintery Snow Dance. If you missed the first post in this series, you'll want to have a look at it as it will give you the background you need to best use our newest addition to the Sun Dance Series.

Stretch up high, wave to the snowflakes
(Standing in mountain pose, reach arms up & wave)
Hang down low, pile up the snow
(Forward fold, reaching down for your toes & pretend to sweep snow into a pile)
Feet jump back, into your toboggan
(Bend your knees, place your hands down and jump or step your feet back to plank)
Belly down, let’s ride it around
(Bending at the elbows, lower your body down to the ground)
Look up at the mountains
(Press the hands into the ground, to straighten the arms into cobra pose)
Now back at the snowman
(Knees under hips, curl the toes under & shift into downward dog)
& breathe & breathe & breathe
(Take 3 big breaths in through the nose and out through the nose, filling the belly BIG like a balloon when you breathe in, letting all the air out when you breathe out)
Feet jump up, onto the ice rink
(Hop the feet up, into a frog squat)
Hang down low, tie up your skates
(Straighten the legs, forward fold & pretend to tie your laces)
Stretch up high, wave to the snowflakes
(Coming to stand, reach both arms up over head & making yourself super tall)
Now figure skating pose!
(Grounding down with your R foot, reach your L hand back for your L ankle. R arm extends forwards as you kick the L foot back and lean forwards into Dancer Pose! Now since we are figure skaters, definitely add in some hops and spins, and remember to do both sides)

Wishing you a warm and cuddly winter with those you love the most, may it be filled with joyous outdoor adventure and play.... and maybe a tropical vacation too!

With BIG love, BRIGHT light and WARM hugs,

- Vanessa

Sun Dance Series - Halloween Dance!

10/21/2017

Happy Halloween! I have to say, I am a Halloween LOVER. I have so many fond memories of trick-or-treating with my cousins, uncle and dad in my younger years - we would run as fast as we could from house to house and stay out extra late in hopes of getting the mother load.... which by Halloween definition is: the remainder of the candy from any home who hasn't seen a kid in a while, does not want to keep they candy in their house (since they know they will eat it all) and is ready to turn off their light for the night. That was always the best! Then, when I was older my bestie and I were pretty small - so we milked it until we were at least 16! Now, I love costume shopping and creating, carving pumpkins, decorating the house, and going for drives to search for a "Halloween House" with the kids. We play a game where whenever you see one while driving, you have to be the first to shout "HAAAALOOOWEEEEN HOUSE!" Seriously, Halloween it's so much fun. When else can you say things like.... Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat... if you won't, I don't care, I'll pull down your underwear! HA!

In the spirit of one of my favorite holidays, I present to you, a super spooky, creepy crawly, BOOOOO-tastic Halloween Dance. If you missed the first post in this series, you'll want to have a look at it as it will give you the background you need to best use our newest addition to the Sun Dance Series.

Stretch up high, wave to the moon
(Standing in mountain pose, reach arms up & wave)
Hang down low, tickle the tombs
(Forward fold, reaching down for your toes & pretend to tickle a tomb)
Feet jump back, into your coffin
(Bend your knees, place your hands down and jump or step your feet back to plank)
Belly on the ground, just like a zombie
(Bending at the elbows, lower your body down to the ground)
Look up and HOWL at the moon! OWooOOoooOW
(Press the hands into the ground, to straighten the arms into cobra pose & HOWL!)
Now downward werewolf
(Knees under hips, curl the toes under & shift into downward dog)
& breathe & breathe & breathe
(Take 3 big breaths in through the nose and out through the nose, filling the belly BIG like a balloon when you breathe in, letting all the air out when you breathe out - you can also add in a panting breath like a tired werewolf)
Feet jump up, just like a spider
(Hop the feet up, into a frog squat)
Hang down low, just like a bat
(Straighten the legs, forward fold & let your arms hang loose)
Rise up slow, just like Frankenstine
(Coming to stand, reach both arms up over head & making yourself super big)
Now trick-or-treat pose!
(Create your own pose! Maybe of the costume you will wear on Halloween? Then you can go around the circle and try to guess what each person has transformed into.)

I hope that you and yours enjoy this Halloween Dance! And for this Halloween, I am wishing you a night filled with frights and a bag full of delights. Happy Halloween everyone! Stay safe, be bright, be bold & most of all be YOU (in a super awesome costume of course).

Most Love,

Vanessa

Sun Dance Series - Fall Dance

9/21/2017

The green leaves of summer have been transforming to beautiful colors of red and yellow, the wind has been cooler, the sweaters, jackets and boots have come out, the days are shorter, and the darkness is making itself known. I do love the fall season in all of it's beauty and wonder, but it is so short lived before we turn to the cold desolate winter. There is little time to enjoy, breathe in, and even less time to let go as the breeze carries away the fallen so swiftly. Fall is about endings, and every journey must find it's end. Semisonic said it best in their hit song Closing Time, "every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end". So this year, as the leaves become one with the earth again, consider what you are letting go of, what is falling away from your life, as you prepare for the new beginnings in the next equinox! For now, join me in celebrating the fall equinox with this fall dance, and enjoy each moment, as they are fleeting and the snow will be here before we know it.

If you missed the first post in this series, you'll want to have a look at it as it will give you the background you need to best use our newest addition to the Sun Dance Series.

Stretch up high, wave your arms in the breeze
(Standing in mountain pose, reach arms up & wave)
Hang down low, gather up some leaves
(Forward fold, reaching down for your toes & pretend to gather leaves by your feet)
Feet jump back, into your pile
(Bend your knees, place your hands down and jump or step your feet back to plank)
Belly down, to the colorful ground
(Bending at the elbows, lower your body down to the ground)
Look up at the sun
(Press the hands into the ground, to straighten the arms into cobra pose
Now look back at the ladybugs
(Knees under hips, curl the toes under & shift into downward dog)
& breathe & breathe & breathe
(Take 3 big breaths in through the nose and out through the nose, filling the belly BIG like a balloon when you breathe in, letting all the air out when you breathe out - see if you can smell the scents of fall)
Feet jump up, into the garden
(Hop the feet up, into a frog squat)
Hang down low, pull some carrots by your toes
(Straighten the legs, forward fold & pretend to pull carrots)
Stretch up high, reach for the apples
(Coming to stand, reach both arms up over head & pretend to grab apples)
Now tree pose!
(Standing on one leg, place the foot of the opposite side medially, either just below or just above the knee of the standing leg)

Happy fall equinox to all, and to all a good night. May this period of darkness reveal a beautiful new beginning for you once our earth turns another 180 degrees. Stay bright, stay bold & be you.

Blessings!

Love,
Vanessa
