SPARKLE UP YOUR CLASSES AND CREATE SOME FUN WITH THE KIDS
Our top tips for your children's yoga classes are here . . .

The Beauty of Hands

5/12/2018

 
Creative Yogis Henna Hands

​At Creative Yogis we feel that creative self expression is paramount to our inner health and well being and offers a chance to be with ourselves in a quiet internal space.  An activity that we have just facilitated on our Teacher Training is something that has proven to be popular with both children and trainees again and again.
 

‘Henna Hands’ are part of the Indian culture and are an expression of beauty and self adornment for women.  This can be done on the hands and the feet and is comprised of delicate intricate shapes and patterns drawn directly onto the skin.  This can be adapted into a fun and easy activity for everyone. For my beautiful boy students I guide them to imagine that if they were a superhero and had a design on their hand, what might it look like?

What you will need
  • Paper A4 size

  • Brown or sienna coloured textas (non toxic preferred)

  • Some printed out examples or your own example.

The activity
  • Begin by drawing around the edge of your hand to create a hand shape

  • Then start to create a decorative pattern inside – it can be as simple or complicated as you like.

  • Relax and enjoy the process and of course ‘Have Fun’!
    ​​
We hope you enjoy creating your ‘Henna Hands’ with your children or students.
