The Power of Holistic Education: Teaching Kids to Thrive through Yoga and Crafts
In today's fast-paced world, children are growing up with packed schedules, heightened energy levels, and limited opportunities to simply be kids. As parents and educators in San Francisco, we are witnessing a rising need for practices that help young minds and bodies slow down, reconnect, and learn invaluable life skills. That’s where holistic education comes in—a gentle, mindful approach that nurtures not only academic growth but also emotional and social well-being.

This is a message from my inner child to yours:
​
​Music has always been my language, my escape, and my joy. When I was a child I used to carry a Semp Toshiba record player to create playlists as gifts for my friends, wrapping a piece of my heart in melodies. Now, an adult, I continue spending time preparing my classes and deeply enjoy syncing music, movement, and breath. My passion for curating music continues to run deep. Now, I decided to share a monthly music curation with you offering different playlists for different tastes. These material is being organized and created to comfort, energize, or provide a moment to pause so you can enjoy the magic of sound. Whether you need a pick-me-up or a background to unwind. Enjoy the ride!
**October Picks**
We encourage educators and parents to explore these playlists designed to enhance children's activities, playtime, and nap time. This music curation benefits not only children but also adults seeking relaxation and meditation. Enjoy !
​
​​This section of my newsletter is a special curation of music—handpicked by me, not just for the little ones, but for the parents, educators, and anyone who shares a love for music like I do. This is not a collection of typical children's songs; it's a selection of soulful, heartwarming tracks that nourish the soul and lift the spirit. Each playlist is a reflection of my passion for music, and work experience of 20 years as a content creator . This curation it will designed to offer moments of peace, joy, and inspiration. Whether you use it to unwind after a long day or to enjoy a mindful moment with your child, these melodies are for everyone who believes that music is a language of the heart.

Let your body follow the natural rhythm of nature : ​
​
Did you know the human body is made up of 60% water? It’s truly fascinating when you think about it. Just like the ocean’s waves, our emotions and energy flow in rhythms, affected by the cycles of the moon and the world around us. When we take the time to slow down and connect with ourselves, we can learn to calm our own internal waters, bringing balance and peace to our lives. Meditation, essential oils, and sound frequencies are powerful tools to help us ground and harmonize. Just as the moon influences the tides, these practices help us realign and raise our personal frequency. By tuning in to these subtle shifts, we can access a deeper state of calm, and find more harmony in our daily lives. Let the natural rhythms guide you toward stillness, and feel the magic of inner peace.
Attention Parents and Educators: Rethink Screen Time!
In our tech-driven world, especially in San Francisco, kids can easily become overexposed to
screens, impacting their emotional development. Excessive screen time can lead to difficulties in
managing emotions and increased anxiety.
At Upside Down Yoga Kids, we’re promoting healthy tech use for children. Here are some guidelines:
Under 2 years: Avoid screens, except for video calls.
Ages 2-5: Limit to one hour of quality programming daily.
Ages 6+: Ensure screen time doesn’t disrupt sleep, activity, or family time.
Instead of screens, consider yoga and playful activities that foster calm and creativity.
Let’s create a balanced environment for our kids to thrive emotionally and digitally!
How to Use Binaural Beats Effectively:
​
Binaural beats are sound therapy that uses two slightly different frequencies in each ear, creating a "third" frequency that helps synchronize brainwaves for specific mental states.
Frequency types include: -
**Alpha (8-12 Hz) **: Promotes relaxation, light meditation, and creativity.
**Theta (4-8 Hz) **: Ideal for deep meditation and calmness.
- **Delta (0.5-4 Hz) **: Best for deep sleep and relaxation.
To use binaural beats effectively, find a quiet space, use headphones, set aside
10-30 minutes, and match the frequency to your goal.
