Yoga Cards

 The Toddlers tried some yoga with me this week

 They were pretty excited about the yoga mats and cards...

 Drew is reaching her arms over her head for giraffe pose 

 Jacob is trying to get his mat to stay flat...

 This is owl pose...."whoo, whoo"

 Peter is squatting down for frog pose  :-)

 Hi Hendrick!

 Bodhi, Piper, and Story are trying downward dog pose with me, and Drew is checking out the "breathing exercises" cube.

 Johnathan was rolling back and forth on his mat

 Jake is trying the downward dog pose too   :-)

 Butterfly pose!   Nice work friends!

 Can you moo like a cow?

Piper really like mooing!

  This was the "silly bear pose"  I told the friends to lay on their back and grab their feet.  We rolled back and forth a bit too.     :-)

  We ended by resting in starfish pose

Twos

  We started with our balloon breathing.....

  Our first yoga pose was the frog....we did a few froggy jumps too  :-)

 Nice cow poses friends!

 Quinn, Sawyer, Campbell, and Skylar are reaching overhead for giraffe pose...what an excellent stretch  :-)

 This is our surfing pose....I told the class to ride a big wave....whoa!

 Zander and Sawyer are waving to the sun in triangle pose   :-)

 Lily and Addie are "whoo whooing" like an owl....when the whole class joined in it sounded like wolves howling!

 This is the ski pose....I said "Put your arms up and then pretend you are going to sit down"  I talked about how this is a good workout for your legs

 The tree pose can be a little tricky....it's a good way to practice balancing   :-)

 Resting in starfish pose....

  We finished by rolling up our mats   :-)     Nice job 2's!

4's

  We started with some big balloon breaths.....

  Next we sat in cloud pose and took a few more deep breaths to make sure we were feeling relaxed

 Then we stretched our legs a bit in butterfly pose

 Next, we held a high plank for "surfboard pose"

 Triangle pose is a great way to stretch your sides

 When we are in triangle pose we like to wave hello to things in the sky  "hello sun, hello moon, hello Jesus"

 Boat pose is an excellent abdominal workout!  Miss Teresa is giving it a try too  :-)

 We hopped on our surfboards and tried to ride a wave

 Hayden was trying to do the pose just like me   :-)

  We tried a few frog jumps....Hattie jumped super high!

 Here we are stretching our necks as we look side to side in owl pose  :-)

 Great balance friends....excellent tree pose!

Here we are "chugging along" in train pose

 Whew!   What a great workout!

 I brought a couple yoga mats to the nursery

 Ethan and Ethan like how to mat feels

 Sophie and Pema are sharing a purple mat

 SOO BIG!

I lifted my foot and Ethan did too  :-) 

 Beckett is doing cow pose!

 Downward Dog!

 Miss Angel is helping Pema do tree pose   :-)

Threes Room

 We started by covering our ears and humming...this is called bumble breathing

 Next we tried a few lumberjack breaths..."Huh!"
