Toodles the Turkey

Toodles did not like her skinny legs or brown feathers!  She also did NOT like her "GOBBLE!  GOBBLE!"  She tried to get the sounds of other animals . . .

She asked the pig for her "OINK!"  But she said, "no!"

The horse said, "NEIGH!" when she asked for his sound . . .

She asked the crow for her "CAAA-AAW!" But she said, "no!" too.

Suddenly the animals heard a "SHREEEK-SHREEK!"  

 A hawk was threatening  . . . 

the baby chicks!  Here's a yoga chick . . .

There's a:

And here's a chick doing yoga everywhere?!

Toodles gathered the babies under her wings and let out a loud: "GOBBLE! GOBBLE!"  

It scared the hawk, and the chicks were SAVED!

YAY for the way you were always meant to be!!🎉

Another way to say this is:

We rested on the farm:

Then we drew pictures about how we were feeling . . .

Yogis felt "relaxed" and "fantastic!"

Next week we'll meet Frederick the Turkey!  We're having fun getting ready for a

Namaste, Yogis! 🙏

How the Stars Fell into the Sky

We shared a Navajo legend today.  The story explains why there is confusion in the world.

First Woman (Goddess Posture) said to First Man (Warrior 2), "The people need to know the laws.  To help them, we must write the laws for all to see."

The decided they could NOT write the laws on the sand or the water . . . 

so they chose the night sky! First Woman carefully designed a pattern with stars so all could read it.

Coyote offered to help . . .

but he soon grew tired of the slow work!

He flung the remaining stars out into the night?! 

We wrapped with a star relaxation body scan . . .

and an opportunity to create a starry, night sky picture with chalk and black construction paper!

SHINE ON, Pisgah CDM Yogis!!

Being Flexible Down South

We had a lot of fun with "If Yoga Were Southern" this week at Pisgah Yoga!  We'll do this practice at Cedar Grove Yoga on Monday, November 5, 5:00-6:00.  (These ideas were posted on Facebook by"It's a Southern Thing.")

We started off with Alabama's "Song of the South" to set the mood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHdXQAQHjd8&list=LLiaze_-7Mlz6aBSFU0Vg4sw

Your ideas of living down south depend on who you are and your life experiences . . . we celebrate the the "good things"~

"Hey, Y'all" Yoga Pose

"It's me, it's me, it's Ernest T!"

"Bowl of Grits"

"Nascar Crash"

"Bless Your Heart"

We think there should also be a yoga pose for "sweet tea," "front porch," and "sand in your toes" . . . 

what else are we missing?! 

We shared a southern noodlehead story and a musical rendition of "Grandma's Featherbed" too!

There are parts of our way of life that need a little work (always) but "Namastay in the South, Y'all?!"  It is home~Y'all come!!

Have a SPOOKtacular Halloween!

We enjoyed some SPOOKY Fun today at yoga!

Can you make your face look like a jack-o-lantern?

Put on your witch's hat and . . .

fly on your broom!

Watch out for spiders . . .

You may get caught in their webs!

Bats can fly or

or hang upside down?!

Have a Safe and

!!!

Room on the Broom

We moved to Julia Donaldson's Room on the Broom yesterday at yoga!

Here is the witch's hat!

Here she is flying on the broom:

When she lost her hat, a dog helped her find it!

There was room on the broom for him.

When she lost her hair bow, a bird helped her find it!

And there was room on the broom for her too!

When she lost her wand, a frog helped her find it.

And they made room on the broom for the frog!

When the broom broke during a storm, everyone on the broom tumbled to the ground.  A dragon wanted to eat the witch!  We tried breathing like a dragon . . . 

The cat, dog, bird and frog worked together to scare the dragon and save the witch!

"Buzz off!--THAT'S MY WITCH!"

With a flower, pinecone, twig, bone and a little magic, they create a truly magnificent broom!!
