Yoga

In connection to our brand new study of the human body, and in connection to our work with moments of silence and mindfullness, we have begun to practice yoga together.  We follow a playful and developmentally appropriate DVD called Yoga Kids.  We guide the children to do the poses in a way that feels comfortable.  It is important to pay attention to how the body feels when stretching so that we may avoid injury.  We have talked about how yoga helps us focus our attention, makes us stronger and healthier, and helps us feel more relaxed and happy.  The children were having so much fun doing yoga that even our beloved Director of Lower School Crissy got into it too!
