ROY G BIV - Part 4 Grateful Green (Heart Chakra)

a Next Generation Yoga Lesson Plan for Tweens & Teens

SUGGESTED PROPS Yoga blocks (one per student), essential oils, bell, chime, or singing bowl. SUGGESTED MUSIC Deep Peace: Music for Yoga and Relaxation by Todd Norian. SETTING UP THE THEME Have you ever felt “out of whack,” or “in a funk,” or “just not right”? It’s that feeling when you know something is out of balance, but it’s hard to put your finger on just what it is. Having awareness of your subtle body, the parts you can’t see, can help you find your groove again. Let’s begin with the chakras. The word chakra translates to “wheel” or “disk.” In yoga, this term refers to wheels of energy throughout the body that correspond to massive nerve centers along the spine, starting from the base of the spine through the crown of the head. Each of the seven main chakras contain bundles of nerves and major organs, as well as our psychological, emotional, and spiritual states of being. In order to maintain a state of balance, it is essential that the chakras remain open, aligned, and fluid. If there is blockage, they cannot flow, just like the drain in your bathtub! In ROY G BIV Part 4, we explore the Heart Chakra, the center for love. In Sanskrit, Anahata.

2. After a few minutes of journaling, invite students to share about their thoughts and feelings. Ask if they think that this kind of emotional awareness is uniquely human. Why or why not?

3. Share that today’s lesson will be all about the fourth or heart chakra. Give some details from the Setting Up the Theme section.

4. Share the scent of an essential oil by diffusing or applying to hands and waving hands so students can experience.

repeating three times for about two minutes. 4. Come to Mountain. 5. In Mountain, ask students to choose an intention or goal they want to achieve. 6. Suggest they find a place to visually focus. While focusing with the eyes,

students should mentally focus on their goal. 7. Step the feet together and bring the arms to a T shape, palms facing the floor. 8. Inhale through the nose three times quickly. With each inhale, crisscross the

arms in front of the body, alternating which arm is on top. 9. Now bring the arms back to the sides, raise up onto the toes, and breathe out a

big “HA!” through the mouth. 10.Repeat this 10 times then pause in Mountain. 11. “My heart is good and holds wisdom. My heart is full of light and peace. I feel

compassion for myself; I am learning and growing. I am connected to the goodness of all things. I am worthy of love and belonging. I extend love and care to others and to myself. I love who I am.” (Pause)
