Ivan, the Shopping Mall Gorilla

We explored the true story of Ivan, the Shopping Mall Gorilla today!

Ivan was transferred to Zoo Atlanta after 27 years in isolation.  We pretended to be animals in the zoo.  We were giraffes, birds, and monkeys.

We also explored postures in Christiane Engel's ABC Yoga~


Here is rainbow with two ends:


Here is a whale breeching!

We shared Thich Nhat Hanh's A Handful of Quiet too.  
In The One and Only Ivan by Karen Applegate, Ivan thinks, "Gorillas are patient like stones.  Humans not so much."  This meditation helped us to be more patient, calm, strong, happy and FREE~
