Feelings are NATURAL

We explored feelings again this week!

Feelings come in PLEASANT and UNPLEASANT flavors . . . 
When I said, "ALL Feelings are . . ." expecting to hear "OKAY!". . . one yogi responded, "Natural." Why, yes they are?!

We considered healthy ways to move feelings, like reading a book . . .
 or dancing to music.  
 Playing with toys is another option where (1) nobody gets hurt and (2) nothing gets broken.   
Here are two rag dolls!

When managing a feeling, you move it one breath at a time . . .
 step-by-step, you get the feeling "quieter and quieter and quieter."
 It's like a rainbow . . . 
 so we made rainbows with the color tablets and . . .
OUR BODIES!

You can feel your feelings in different parts of your body.  Like your eyes can feel heavy when you are sad or tired:
If your tummy aches, it could be a nervous or excited feeling?!
 We strengthened our tummies by being a triangle!


Ever feel "pins and needles" in your body? Here's a "pointy" pose . . . 

 We practiced an L handstand to remember "clenched fists" and "sweaty palms" indicate unpleasant feelings going on in your body:

We finished class with a rest! 💤
EVERYONE was still and quiet during our final relaxation and feelin' groovy after our yoga practice today. 😊
