S-t-r-e-t-c-h Your Storytimes: Exercise Programming Flexibility with Yoga

Abstract

While books are rightfully the biggest and best-known tool in children’s literacy, storytellers and parents may find themselves looking for ideas to inject new life into old routines and reinforce what children see in stories.

Adding yoga to a library storytime increases children’s opportunities for imaginative play and may help them control their emotions. With a little flexibility, you’ll soon be embracing movement as a regular element in your programs (when in-person programming returns, post pandemic!)
