We enjoyed our wrap session today! We reviewed the lessons we've learned during the past three weeks. We divied up the yoga practice and had yogis teach the final practice together.
breathing/centering--Gabi shared "pinch your nose breath" and Sa Ta Na Ma meditation
warm up--Olivia led cat/cow
Sun Salutations--Kaitlyn taught these!
work--Mrs. Broam shared "Freeze/Flow/Flop" and we took turns stopping the music. We also shared "opposite" postures to remind ourselves if we have "stinkin' thinking" we need to turn those negative thoughts around:
bow/wheel, warrior/reverse warrior, snowball/star, plank/slide, boat/down dog
balance--Caroline shared tree and 3 legged dog
floor--Kaitlyn shared "rock the baby" and Ashton taught "Superman"
We closed with a twist and final relaxation. Today's meditation was A Handful of Quiet by Thich Nhat Hanh. Kiddos took home some pebbles to give this one a try at home.
We made "promises" before leaving today. For example: I promise to remember the folks I can trust and talk to when I have questions. I will be honest with myself and others. I have confidence in my body and spirit. I am b--YOU--tiful. I will talk kindly to myself and others.
Thank you to Gabi for sharing her yoga ball. We used to modify some postures like warrior, rock the baby, wheel and plank.
I thoroughly enjoyed sharing these ideas with your young ladies! I hope we will meet on the mat again soon. Thank you, again, for participating in this series!
I'll be teaching Kids Yoga at Pink on Saturday, April 8, 12:00-12:45. During Spring Break, if you are in town, I'll be doing a series on prayer, 12:00-1:15 on Tuesday, 4/15, Wednesday, 4/16 and Thursday, 4/17. You can come to any or all of the fun! :-)
Namaste!
