Chill Skills Camp, Week 2, Day 1

We are exploring BALANCE!  We can make adjustments when we are "out of balance."  Here we are practicing this concept with peacock feathers:

One way to soothe the nervous system is to fold the body.  "Mouse" is one way to "fold the body."  Your body moves from "fight or flight" response to "rest and digest" with this movement.

We have all young ladies this week so today we zipaDee-PRINCESSED!  Check out these "beauties"--

Here we are learning about triangle to be Belle's gown.  When she dances with the Beast, her beautiful gown looks like a triangle!  Can you touch the hem of the dress?

Xena was a Warrior Princess.  This position is "Warrior 2."  When you hold your body like this, you are STRONG!

Mulan was a warrior too!  To celebrate her we're doing "Warrior 1."  :-)

Princess Leia was a pretty strong character also.  Can you be her light saber?  Try to balance in "Warrior 3" to let your light shine.

Walk like a bear with Pocohantas!  Using large muscles, folding the body--this is another good way to slow your body down.

Watch out for the bears that GROWL!

Be careful around Jasmine's tiger .  .  . 

We'll escape in Wonder Woman's invisible jet!  Whew?!

We wrapped up the day celebrating Peace Builder, Ron McNair.  How can you bridge "the gaps?"  What ARE "the gaps" in your world?
