Welcome everyone to our October Yoga session where the kids have embarked on an exciting mission to outer space.
Before heading off on our trip, we warmed up, did some jumping jacks and high knees to investigate what our breath feels like when we engage in intense activities. Most of us agreed that our breath and heart beat felt super fast and so we learned to calm our bodies using our breath and just like magic our breath and heart started slowing down and we felt calmer:)
As astronauts about to leave on a mission, we had to make sure our lungs were strong, so we practiced a special breathing technique with my fellow space jetters. This time our mission took us to the moon and we rode moon buggies which was a lot of fun but took a lot of energy, so we checked in on our breath and calmed our minds and bodies down by breathing. All of us had a blast exploring yoga poses as we travelled through space.
I have asked the kids to bring in any books, space figures etc that they would like to share with us and we will use them to help us out on our search and rescue mission.
My hope is that along-with Yoga, the kids will also learn a little more about outer space as we move forward on our journey. We wrapped up our class with reflection and relaxation, and each child took a minute to write one of their dreams.
Suggested Family Activity: Ask your child to share some of their dreams with you and be sure to share some of yours. Write down your wishes on a star and post them on a wall to inspire everyone to fulfill their dreams:)
