Today we . . . 

mindfully listened to the sound as I rang my chime . . . “If you hear my chime, it’s quiet time.”

positioned our bodies and focused in a “Show Me You Are Ready” posture and took 3 collective breaths.

reviewed the true meaning of yoga - yoga is life - It’s everything we say and do. It also helps us to be loving beings.

discussed the meaning of love and how important it is to love yourself first. Love begins with me.

relaxed our mind and body while practicing the affirmation “Love Begins with Me” - 3 x out loud, 3 x whisper, 3 x quietly and 1 x out loud.

passed around a squishy ball and shared our creativity on how to mindfully manipulate the ball; friends copied the mindful movement as we said hello to each of our friends.

Sun salutations included mountain pose to extended mountain pose to rag doll to extended mountain pose and back to mountain pose. Moon salutations included mountain pose to star pose to giving ourselves a great big hug.

listened to a story about love called, “Love You by Heart!” by Peter Reynolds; emphasizing our love for thyself and others.
