Happy November Everyone! This month's yoga is from a wonderful books called Thank You, World. It has beautiful illustrations that show what children around the world are thankful for. There are 8 yoga poses that go along with the book too!
2's and 3's Friends!
We began with some breathing exercises :-)
We are pretending to blow up a balloon with our hands
Next, we stretched our arms overhead....
Here, we are flying like birds!!!
I told the friends we were going to make it rain. First, we stomped our feet (thunder)
Here comes the rain....we made a "SHHHHHHH" sounds as we brought our arms down and folded forward...they had so much fun and asked to do it again and again :-)
The energy level increased so I put the yoga book away and focused on some quicker large motor activities.
Alligator chomps!!
Mountain climbers......
Bunny hopping!
"Touch your nose if you had a good workout!"
Fours :-)
We started with some twists to warm our bodies up...
Next, we did the wood chopper breathing exercise (3 times because it is so fun!)
Next, we did the balloon breathing exercise :-)
"We are thankful for the sun and sky"
Next, we swayed side to side like the wind was blowing :-) (This is a great way to stretch your sides)
"We are thankful for the birds"
Balancing on one foot is tricky!
"We are thankful for the kites in the breeze" Here we are waving hello to the kites, the sun, the clouds, and of course Jesus :-)
"We are thankful for the trees"
Now we are stomping our feet to make thunder......
Here comes the rain!!!
"We are thankful for the flowers"
Breathe deep....
"Thankful for the stars and goodnight kisses"

"So big!"
Knees to chest is great for digestion :-)
Arms up overhead!!!
Then I brought a couple food books to look at :-)
Lucas just woke up and he liked the little pumpkin.
Beckett had the big carrot and Raelyn has the little one....she is pretty interested in the big one though!
It's a book and veggie party!!
Ethan thought the little corn toy was pretty funny!!
The toddlers played with the plush food toy and food books in the rec room :-)
