EMPOWERING ACTIVITY
Instead of jumping and spinning around, we are going to do some yoga. Yoga helps to calm the body and gives us time to reflect and just think.
On the worksheet, there are several yoga poses to do. When doing these poses, feel free to close your eyes and take deep breaths.
Click on the worksheet to print, or draw on your own paper.
With your class, do each of the yoga poses for 20-30 seconds each.
After closing your eyes and stretching, do you feel more relaxed?
Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed or stressed out by your surroundings, and it is important to make time for yourself. Setting aside time for self-care can help both the body and mind.
