Book ID/图书代码： 09802012B58252
English Summary/英文概要： Creative Yoga for Children offers a simple, ready-to-teach Montessori-based yoga program for children age twelve and under. Following age-appropriate classroom themes, the book’s forty detailed, one-hour lessons are designed to supplement any learning environment and are accessible to parents and teachers alike--no special training is required. In a recent study by California State University, Los Angeles, yoga was found to improve students’ behavior, physical health, academic performance, and attitudes toward themselves. Research also shows that the benefits of yoga are particularly strong among children with special needs. This book demonstrates how yoga can become a fun daily practice inside or outside the school classroom.
Enhanced with over 100 black and white photos, the book’s themes, or lessons, are divided by age range (ages four to six, seven to nine, and ten to twelve) and explore topics based on the child’s developmental level. For four- to six-year-olds there are twenty hour-long lessons on subjects ranging from colors and the holiday seasons to sounds and words. Ten hour-long lessons for seven- to nine-year-olds introduce such topics as the body, countries of the world, botany, zoology, and the universe. For ten- to twelve-year-olds, ten hour-long lessons cover the environment, geometry, the Earth, fractions, the food chain, and more.
Following the structure of a classroom lesson plan, each lesson incorporates elements of yoga including poses, breath work, meditation, and mindfulness. A discussion of the theme and intention of the lesson is followed by a warm-up of yoga poses. The children then engage in a cooperative "connecting" activity designed to bring them together, and a fun and lively theme-oriented activity that involves movement and awareness. The class winds down with breath work, a craft, and often a story. Finally, there is relaxation time and a guided meditation. With this preset structure, the children feel safe while being challenged and inspired.
Derived from the educational philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori and the author’s own experience in the classroom and yoga studio, Creative Yoga for Children allows children to move at their own pace and to be free to learn and grow within a non-competitive, nurturing setting. An essential resource for the 4,000 certified Montessori schools in the U.S., this book will appeal to yoga teachers, classroom teachers, parents, and anyone who works with children.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 儿童创造性瑜伽是为12岁以下儿童提供的，一种以蒙特梭利教育方法为基础的准备充分的儿童瑜伽项目。这本书有四十个详细课时，每节课一小时，课程主题适合儿童学习，可以用来补充任何学习环境，家长和老师也可以访问——不需要特殊培训。加州大学洛杉矶分校最近的一项研究表明，瑜伽可以改善学生的行为和身体健康状况，提高学业成绩，改善他们对待自己的态度。研究也表明，瑜伽对有特殊需求的孩子的好处特别明显。这本书展示了瑜伽如何成为一项教室内外有趣的日常活动。
通过超过100张黑白照片的论证加强，这本书的主题或教育意义以年龄划分（4到6岁，7到9岁，10到12岁），探索主题给予儿童的发育水平。对于4到6岁的儿童，书中有20个小时的课程，主题从颜色到放假的季节再到声音和文字都有。对于7到9岁的儿童，书中有10个小时的课程，包括身体、世界上的国家、植物学、动物学和宇宙。对于10到12岁的儿童，书中有10个小时的课程，覆盖了环境、几何、地理、分数、食物链等等。
在课程教学计划结构下，每节课都包括瑜伽的元素，包括姿势、呼吸动作、冥想和专注力。瑜伽姿势热身后有对瑜伽主题讨论和课程目的的讨论。然后，孩子们会参加合作性的“连接”活动，目的是让他们聚集在一起，再参加一个关于运动和意识的生动有趣的主题活动。接着，通过呼吸动作、工艺活动，经常有一个小故事，我们的瑜伽课程放松下来。最后是放松时间和引导性冥想时间。这些事先准备好的结构是为了让孩子们在挑战和启发的同时，也有安全感。
创造性瑜伽是Maria Montessori博士从她的教育哲学博士课程和她自己在教室和瑜伽工作室的经验中得出的，可以使儿童按照自己的步调行动，在一个没有竞争的、善解人意的环境中自由的学习成长。这本书是4000多家美国经过蒙特梭利认证的学校的重要资源，吸引了许多瑜伽教练、课堂教师、家长和任何从事儿童工作的人。（LNL）
