Developing balance with Toe-ga, Jan 13th

This post is a little late, my sincere apologies.  This was our second class after the winter holidays and the kids had lots to share, so we tied it in with Yoga poses.  
Our young Yogis continue to work on developing their balance, and what more fun way then with Toe-Ga.  So we got moving picking up pom poms with our toes and dropping them in our buckets. They were all so proud of themselves as they patiently picked up one pom pom at a time and filled up their bucket.  Ask your child about Toe-ga and make it a family event!
The older Yogis had lots to share, over the holidays a lot of them have been making beautiful bracelets with rainbow looms, so we came up with some poses to connect ourselves and twist and make beautiful yogi looms:)  







Suggested Activity:  Organize a family Toe-Ga night, here is what you will need:
Pom poms - various sizes
Bucket/tall container for each participant
Masking Tape
Some fun music, I use the Toe-Ga song, by Kiddin Around Yoga
How to play:
1. Give each player 10-15 pom poms
2. Create a path that you have to follow, starting from the pom poms to your mat (I use masking tape)
3. See how long it takes you to get all your pom poms in the bucket with your dominant foot
4. Repeat with your other foot, and see whether it takes you the same time
4. Smile often and breathe deep
