Parent-Child yoga is part of an 8-week program that Hannah Hartz, a Rush University occupational therapy doctoral student, is leading as part of her capstone project for school. Each class is an hour long, individual session where families have the opportunity to learn and practice yoga, meditation and being silly! Some highlights from week one include: acting like silly monkeys to learn why we meditate, laughing meditation, learning partner yoga poses that kids can do with their parents, and learning the mantra \u201cPeace Begins With Me!\u201d as part of a 4-finger meditation. Each week offers a different theme and different mindfulness-based activities:\u00a0<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/chicago\/files\/2021\/06\/3_Easy-Resize.com_.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-135931\" src=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/chicago\/files\/2021\/06\/3_Easy-Resize.com_-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/chicago\/files\/2021\/06\/3_Easy-Resize.com_-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/chicago\/files\/2021\/06\/3_Easy-Resize.com_-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/chicago\/files\/2021\/06\/3_Easy-Resize.com_-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/chicago\/files\/2021\/06\/3_Easy-Resize.com_-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/chicago\/files\/2021\/06\/3_Easy-Resize.com_.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Week 1 &#8211; Introduction to Yoga and Meditation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Week 2 &#8211; My Body &#8211; Yoga, Meditation, Body Scanning, and Breathwork<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Week 3 &#8211; Nature &#8211; Yoga, Meditation, and Our Senses<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Week 4 &#8211; Food &#8211; Yoga, Meditation, and Mindful Eating<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Week 5 &#8211; Zoo Animals &#8211; Yoga, Meditation, and Breathwork Practice Part 1<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Week 6 &#8211; Farm Animals &#8211; Yoga, Meditation, and Breathwork Practice Part 2<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Week 7 &#8211; Ocean &#8211; Yoga, Meditation, and Breathwork Practice Part 3<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Week 8 &#8211; Superheroes &#8211; Yoga, Meditation, and Positive Affirmations<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Hannah isn\u2019t leading these classes alone; she has 2 fearless interns helping her. Sam and Brenda, both young adults with Down syndrome, are interning with Hannah this summer. As part of their internship, they are learning life and job skills, such as goal setting, time management, and communication skills. They\u2019re also working on becoming certified to teach kids yoga through Kidding Around Yoga\u2019s online program. Each week, they help teach up to 5 yoga classes. Their responsibilities include setting up for class, leading the social-emotional check-in at the beginning and end of each class, helping demonstrate new poses, and leading a 10-minute activity for each kid at the end of class.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/chicago\/files\/2021\/06\/1_Easy-Resize.com_.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-135932\" src=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/chicago\/files\/2021\/06\/1_Easy-Resize.com_-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/chicago\/files\/2021\/06\/1_Easy-Resize.com_-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/chicago\/files\/2021\/06\/1_Easy-Resize.com_-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/chicago\/files\/2021\/06\/1_Easy-Resize.com_-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/chicago\/files\/2021\/06\/1_Easy-Resize.com_-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/chicago\/files\/2021\/06\/1_Easy-Resize.com_.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/chicago\/files\/2021\/06\/2_Easy-Resize.com_.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-135933\" src=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/chicago\/files\/2021\/06\/2_Easy-Resize.com_-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/chicago\/files\/2021\/06\/2_Easy-Resize.com_-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/chicago\/files\/2021\/06\/2_Easy-Resize.com_-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/chicago\/files\/2021\/06\/2_Easy-Resize.com_-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/chicago\/files\/2021\/06\/2_Easy-Resize.com_-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/chicago\/files\/2021\/06\/2_Easy-Resize.com_.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week we kicked off parent-child yoga here at GiGi\u2019s Playhouse Chicago.
