s-t-r-e-t-c-h sloooow like a sloth

On Thursday at Pisgah CDM Yoga, we slowed our pace and tuned in with the large singing bowl!

We took deep breaths like blowing up and letting go of a balloon!

We also breathed like a balloon while sitting "hips on heels."

We breathed like a "caiman!"

We read Eric Carle's "Slowly, Slowly, Slowly," Said the Sloth.

The sloth was hanging upside down in a tree.

We put our trees together to make a forest!

We moved like animals that live with the sloth in South America.  We used snake pose for the anaconda.  Although he doesn't rattle, we added rattles to our snake for fun.🐍

This is a coati.  It has a ring-tail that it holds high in the air.  When coatis travel where grasses are tall, they can keep up with one another by the tails!

We made it rain!  It takes a lot of self-control and patience to make it rain . . . 

Here we are monkey-in' around like a howler monkey!

We twisted with a partner.

We rested on our own.

 Mrs. Broam had shirts left over from a yoga camp several years ago!  We thought we'd consider our summer yoga like a "yoga camp" we completed one afternoon per week!

Say, "Cheese!"

 See you next week for our last session in our summer series!🌞
