But if you're a cautious parent do yourself a favor and invest in a Kulae Hot Hybrid <a href="http://www.kulae.com" rel="nofollow">yoga mat</a>. These mats are very soft, machine-washable, and serve as a great hybrid between a yoga mat and a yoga towel. Highly recommended!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18083533462296252640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687753886015415368.post-92140939514930203382013-02-28T09:33:21.277-08:002013-02-28T09:33:21.277-08:00This is such a joy for me to see Yoga being introd...This is such a joy for me to see Yoga being introduced in a Montessori classroom. I too, am a Montessori educator. I used to practice Yoga in my classroom regularly. I helped make the classroom's climate very peaceful. From my experiences working with the kids, I was able to publish a children's book on Yoga, last year. Please check out my book, titled, Y is for Yoga by Anita Adgikary.....cheers to you !Anita Adhikaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02011916763339768671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687753886015415368.post-46580367849441333802012-08-11T04:36:21.199-07:002012-08-11T04:36:21.199-07:00Hello Cynthia, I'm not sure this is the right ...Hello Cynthia, I'm not sure this is the right place to post this, but I couldn't find a contact link anywhere, so here goes:<br /><br />I'm writing to Montessori-related blogs to share a new material idea, and to gauge interest from the educational community. I'm a former Montessori-child (Brookview Montessori in Benton Harbor, MI) and now have my own children (twin two-year old boys).<br /><br />I've been working with my Mother, Lisa Camp, a Montessori teacher for 25 years, on an extremely durable, beautiful set of alphabet cards for small children to work and play with. My mother deems them both “classroom grade” and “indestructible”. <br /><br />The cards are made from non-toxic, food grade plastic and inks (made in the United States). The cards offer 26, A to Z original illustrations by Australian artist, Marc Martin. <br /><br />It's running for just 8 more days on Kickstarter.com to gain funding to get produced. Here's the link to the site to pre-order the deck ($20 shipped) and get your reward, it also has a video, information on the illustrator and more. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/482898835/childrens-abc-wallet-cards<br /><br />An important note: The A, E, I, O and U main illustrations have all been updated to objects with short vowel sounds since the release of our video and initial mock-ups. No soft “G” sounds either. <br /><br />The backs of the cards have also been updated to feature a large display of the lowercase letter with small illustrations of other matching objects surrounding it. They are safe for teething babies for use as stroller cards, and will grow with your child to help them spell out words while they are learning to read.<br /><br />For any blogs or websites who feature our Kickstarter link, we will offer a free deck of cards once they are funded and produced, please let me know if you have any questions or comments!<br /><br />Marie-Claire Camp<br />Grand Rapids, MI<br />616-446-3622Marie-Claire Camphttp://about.me/happycampernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687753886015415368.post-19484909742674641442012-06-17T20:22:28.206-07:002012-06-17T20:22:28.206-07:00Hi Kate:

Most teachers just make their own either using their own children as models or getting permission to take pictures of the students. I also know of one teacher who bought a yoga book from a thrift story and used the pictures that she found in the book. <br /><br />CynthiaCynthia Dyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481191579068028308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687753886015415368.post-56163277048969836662012-06-06T06:31:41.457-07:002012-06-06T06:31:41.457-07:00Where did you get your cards?Where did you get your cards?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687753886015415368.post-49423576140308089602012-05-29T10:24:46.232-07:002012-05-29T10:24:46.232-07:00Thanks for your thoughts, kaney.

However,any good Montessori teacher will observe her children and adapt any activity or material to fit the child if need be. This goes for Yoga, as well. <br /><br />I should also point out that Yoga in the classroom is not a "standard" Montessori activity and it won't be found in every classroom.Cynthia Dyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481191579068028308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687753886015415368.post-36653348584561865762012-05-28T20:59:42.581-07:002012-05-28T20:59:42.581-07:00These are not classes for Yoga students with ailme...These are not classes for Yoga students with ailments, or for beginners who just "jumped off the couch." Power Yoga is a fantastic system of Yoga exercises, but if you are going to teach any form of Power Yoga classes, you have to be completely honest with prospective students.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.evitalhealth.com/Ostaderm.html" rel="nofollow">ostaderm v</a>kaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04767722783117979542noreply@blogger.com
