Today we . . .

continued to connect our breath with movement to understand the meaning of yoga.

engaged in a "body scan" - fluttered our fingers to various body parts as we listened to the rhythm of our breath.  

participated in various "yoga fun" with "falling leaves."

blew like the wind to see our leaf move slow then fast.  

learned three yoga poses - mountain pose, tree pose and frog pose.

balanced the leaf on our head as we entered into mountain pose.  

held our leaf in our hand as we stood like a tree and then released the leaf to watch it land on the ground.

hopped like frogs and jumped over our leaves.  

relaxed with our breathing buddies and leaves as we rested in the "do nothing pose" - savasana.  

expressed what made us happy today in yoga class (session 1 passed around a happy emoji & session 2 passed a hand squeeze - this helped the children to take turns sharing their thoughts). 

and acknowledged our gratitude - "Namaste" - I shine my light in you as you shine your light in me!
